Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has procured mobile telephony and mobile voice and data services, together with associated building upgrades. The requirement is classified as telecommunications services (CPV 64200000). It is intended to support the Council’s mobile communications needs and related work to upgrade buildings. The procurement is a mini-competition under the Crown Commercial Service RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services framework, using its lot 2 route. Businesses operating in mobile telecommunications, mobile voice and data provision, network services, or associated building upgrade delivery would find the subject matter relevant. The recorded procurement is led by The City of Edinburgh Council, with the requirement applying to its operations and estate in Edinburgh.

This procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition run under lot 2 of the RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services framework. The tender process began on 2 January 2026. Virgin Media Business was selected as the supplier, with an awarded value of £2,800,000. The related contract is recorded as active. One bid was recorded for the competition. The procurement covers mobile contracts and building upgrades, with full requirements set out in the tender documents. The opportunity used a framework call-off route rather than a standalone open tender. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and awarded value; it does not set out a separate award date, contract end date, contract duration, lot-by-lot split, or detailed scoring breakdown.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from The City of Edinburgh Council for a combined mobile telecommunications and building-upgrade requirement delivered through a public-sector framework mini-competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide mobile voice and data services at council scale, manage the associated service arrangements, and deliver or coordinate upgrades to relevant buildings. Experience of framework call-offs and mini-competitions would be commercially important, as would the operational capacity to support a public-sector customer across its mobile communications needs. Businesses with both telecommunications delivery capability and suitable building-upgrade expertise, or strong delivery partners for the complementary work, are best aligned.
