Summary of the contracting process

The East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust has successfully completed a procurement process for an additional mobile phone contract aimed at addressing coverage issues. The procurement falls under the mobile-telephone services category and is located in Suffolk, UK. The procurement utilised a limited method, being awarded through a compliant framework without a call for competition. This process aligns with the Crown Commercial Service RM6261 framework, and the contract was signed on 9th July 2026. The main focus of this contract is the supply of mobile phone services, including pooled data and voice connections, SIMs, device support, and a technology fund for upgrades, with Vodafone Limited being the awarded supplier.
