UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office bought mobile-telephone services for the British Embassy Türkiye network. The requirement covers telecommunications services supporting the embassy’s mobile connectivity in Türkiye. The buyer is a UK central government department based in London, while the service is delivered for the British Embassy network in Türkiye. This is a services procurement rather than a supply of handsets or a works contract. The requirement is relevant to mobile network operators and telecommunications providers with an established network and operational capability in Türkiye. It may also interest providers able to support international government customers and maintain reliable mobile communications across an embassy environment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. There was one completed lot. Vodafone Telekomünikasyon Anonim Şirketi was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026 for £44,835.67 excluding VAT, or £52,906.09 including VAT. The contract was signed on 21 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2028. The award covers mobile-telephone services for the embassy network. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract; the procurement record does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional evaluation criteria. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it provides a clear benchmark for suppliers targeting the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s mobile communications requirements in Türkiye. A credible competitor would need to be an established mobile network operator or telecommunications provider with network coverage and service capability in Türkiye, together with the capacity to support a British embassy network reliably. The successful supplier is a large organisation, indicating that scale and operational resilience were commercially relevant to delivery. Providers should be able to manage a government customer, maintain continuity of mobile services and support an international diplomatic site. Experience delivering secure, dependable telecommunications for institutional or public-sector users would strengthen a future comparable offering.
