Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "Award of Mobile Telephony Services" under the Scottish Procurement Mobile Voice and Data Services Framework (SP-22-005). The procurement falls within the general public services industry category and is located in Aberdeen, region UKM50. This contract, now in the award stage, involved a direct award due to the framework's sole supplier provision, bypassing prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is valued at £145,000 and was officially signed on 30th December 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunication services, particularly those capable of providing comprehensive mobile telephony solutions. Large enterprises such as Vodafone Limited, the awarded supplier, may find this type of procurement process advantageous due to its streamlined award procedure based on existing frameworks. Businesses that are well-suited for such opportunities typically have established capabilities in mobile voice and data services and can benefit from the reduced competitive pressure under the sole supplier framework.
