PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed the procurement process for the Mobile Telephony services, specifically awarding the contract for Lot 2 of the Crown Commercial Services Mobile Voice and Data Services (RM6261). The procurement was conducted through an open procedure and falls under the services category within general public services. Situated in Edinburgh under the region UKM75, the contract involves delivery within this region. The contract award was signed with Virgin Media Business Limited on 13 April 2026, with a value of £2,800,000. The procurement stage labeled 'award' indicates that the contract has been officially granted.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in telecommunications and mobile services, particularly those capable of delivering large-scale mobile telephony solutions. Since the procurement targeted Lot 2 under a structured framework agreement, the opportunity is well-suited for large enterprises like Virgin Media Business Limited that can meet the demands and compliance requirements of public authorities like The City of Edinburgh Council. Businesses of a similar scale and capability might find suitable future opportunities through the open procedural approach utilised in this process, as noted by the single electronic bid from a non-EU foreign entity. Additionally, businesses can explore other lots and frameworks provided by Crown Commercial Services for further potential collaborations.
