UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Public Sector Partnership Services Ltd bought 134 iPhones for three client councils. This is a goods requirement for mobile telephones, covering the supply of devices rather than a wider telecommunications service. The buyer is a public authority based in Salford and acted for the three councils receiving the phones. The awarded supplier, JD Networks Ltd, is based in Pudsey and is classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses supplying Apple iPhones or comparable mobile telephone equipment to public-sector organisations, particularly suppliers able to fulfil a multi-council order and coordinate delivery across the buyer’s client base. The procurement was handled as a single lot, covering the complete mobile telephone purchase.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. JD Networks Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 31 July 2026 to 2 August 2026. Its value is £54,839 excluding VAT and £65,806.79 including VAT. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, using a procedure recorded as “below threshold - unknown”. The contract is active and the award is active. The buyer purchased 134 iPhones for three client councils, with the requirement classified as mobile telephones. This was a single-lot process, with no separate awards or contract values to distinguish. The recorded process status is complete, reflecting the concluded award and contract arrangements.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined public-sector requirement for a substantial batch of Apple mobile phones serving several councils through one purchasing organisation. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need dependable access to iPhone stock, the capacity to fulfil a sizeable device order, and reliable order administration for multiple public-sector end users. Experience supplying mobile telephones to councils or other public bodies would help demonstrate understanding of public-sector purchasing and delivery expectations. Businesses should also be able to manage the practical coordination involved in supplying one consolidated requirement on behalf of several client councils, while maintaining clear product specification, fulfilment and after-sales arrangements.
