UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Yeovil College is procuring mobile phone provisions for delivery across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers mobile telephones, mobile-telephone services and the associated telecommunications network. It is a combined goods and telecommunications opportunity, intended for a supplier able to provide handsets together with the mobile connectivity and network services needed by the college. The buyer is Yeovil College, based at Holland’s Campus, Mudford Road, Yeovil. The requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate service and equipment purchases, so businesses should be able to support the full mobile phone provision or offer a suitable integrated service. The procurement is relevant to mobile network operators, business telecommunications providers, mobile device suppliers and firms delivering managed mobile solutions.

The process reached tender: Yeovil College invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 17 August 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 24 August 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with extensions allowed for two further 12-month periods, potentially extending to 31 October 2031. The estimated value is £72,000 excluding VAT, or £86,400 including VAT. The buyer will assess technical quality at 50%, added, social value and sustainability at 10%, and price at 40%. The requirement is divided into one lot, covering the complete mobile phone provision. The tender reference is CA18265.

This opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in mobile telecommunications, handset supply and network provision. Strong competitors will be able to demonstrate that they can meet detailed technical quality requirements while delivering a reliable, joined-up mobile service for a college. The evaluation gives greater weight to technical quality than price, so suppliers should be prepared to explain their service performance, equipment offer, network arrangements and approach to delivery. Evidence of added value, social value and sustainability will also contribute to the assessment. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to specialist providers as well as larger telecommunications businesses.
