## Summary

Cheshire Constabulary has completed the award stage of its procurement process for "Smart Messaging 2025," which falls under the industry category of Short Message Service (SMS) services. The contract, valued at £51,540, is aimed at providing SMS services, with British Telecommunications Plc appointed as the supplier. The procurement method is a direct award under the G-Cloud 14 framework. The contract period commenced on 8th January 2025 and will conclude on 7th January 2026, covering a wide geographical scope including the UK, Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, Isle of Man, Europe, and globally. The buyer organisation is based in Cheshire, UK, while the supplier is located in Birmingham.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for established firms in telecom and digital communication services to engage with public sector organisations. As the direct award is not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, larger companies with comprehensive SMS service capabilities can benefit from such contracts, enhancing their portfolio and expanding their reach. Businesses experienced in cloud services and those that can efficiently manage widespread geographical service delivery are likely to be competitive candidates in similar or future procurement endeavours.
