UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council commissioned mobile travel data services to support the Cornwall Local Plan. The requirement centres on Telefónica UK’s O2 Motion Response mobile-data product, including an addendum and social-value material. The work provides evidence about population movement and travel patterns, helping the council understand how people move through Cornwall and informing local planning. Relevant analysis includes origin-and-destination matrices for rural and urban areas, movement by transport mode, and the use of mobile data to assess electric-vehicle activity. The procurement is for services in the telecommunications and mobility-data field, delivered in Cornwall by a provider able to supply and interpret aggregated mobile-network travel information for public-sector planning.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Cornwall Council used a below-threshold procedure, with the procurement method recorded as unknown, and the requirement was treated as one lot. Telefónica UK Limited was awarded the contract on 25 August 2026 for £71,350 excluding VAT, or £85,620 including VAT. The contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 August 2026. A contract signature was scheduled for 27 August 2026. The award covers mobile travel data services associated with telecommunications, including the O2 Motion Response product. The available outcome identifies the selected supplier and active award; the recorded procurement details do not set out an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award shows Cornwall Council’s demand for specialist mobility data to inform local planning, particularly evidence on population movement, travel by mode and origin-and-destination patterns across rural and urban areas. A credible future competitor would need access to reliable mobile-network data and the ability to turn it into usable travel analysis for public authorities. Relevant capability includes producing O2 Motion Response or comparable datasets, explaining methodology and limitations, and supporting planning studies with clear evidence. Experience of work on connected places, population movement, transport evaluation or electric-vehicle usage would strengthen a supplier’s position. Providers should also be able to demonstrate social value and present concise case studies showing that their data supports practical public-sector decisions.
