Ofcom, a UK sub-central government public authority, spearheaded a procurement process for the provision of software maintenance and support for ROMES systems, which are employed for mobile coverage and performance measurements. The procurement, titled "Software maintenance for ROMES systems for mobile coverage measurements," focuses on ensuring system reliability through ongoing updates and support for a duration of one year. The procurement stage is marked as complete, with the contract having been signed on 24 June 2026. This direct procurement method was executed below the threshold without competition. The awarded contract, valued at £46,760.44, commenced on 1 September 2026 and will conclude on 31 August 2027, with operations based in London, United Kingdom. The industry category for this tender is services related to repair, maintenance, and associated activities concerning telecommunications and audio-visual equipment.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications and ICT maintenance services. Companies equipped to deliver system software updates and offer reliable online support can benefit significantly from such contracts.
