## Summary

West Sussex County Council procured mobile voice and data services, covering telecommunications services and associated mobile connectivity. The requirement is identified as Mobile Voice and Data Services and relates to the council’s operations in Chichester, West Sussex. The procurement is for services rather than equipment or infrastructure works. The named delivery location is Chichester, with the wider South East also identified. The contract was awarded to Virgin Media Business, indicating that the requirement was met by a large telecommunications supplier. This purchase is relevant to mobile network operators and business communications providers able to deliver voice and data services for a county council, as well as firms supporting such services within a prime supplier’s delivery model.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Virgin Media Business on 10 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £131,239.58. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 June 2028. West Sussex County Council used a selective procurement route, as a call-off from the RM6261 framework agreement. The tender deadline was 3 August 2026. The procurement is presented as one requirement, with no separate lots described. Award evaluation criteria are not stated in the available process information. The contract award is active, and the contract period is recorded against the award. The selected supplier is based in Worthing, while the service delivery locations are Chichester and the wider South East.

This award demonstrates demand from West Sussex County Council for mobile voice and data services through a framework call-off, at a scale suited to delivery by an established, large supplier. For a future competition for this same requirement, credible providers would need to show they can supply dependable mobile voice and data connectivity across the council’s service area and support public-sector operational needs. Experience delivering comparable mobile services to a county council, the capacity to manage a council-wide requirement and the ability to contract through the relevant framework route would be commercially pertinent. Telecommunications operators and business communications providers are the closest fit; specialist delivery partners may also be relevant where they strengthen a prime contractor’s service capability. The award establishes Virgin Media Business as the selected supplier for this purchase.
