## Summary

NHS Shared Business Services has completed the procurement process for the supply of Apple iPhones, specifically under the industry category of Mobile telephones (CPV: 32250000). This tender, part of their annual refresh programme, aims to properly equip the workforce and meet cyber security requirements. The procurement occurred through a selective process, initiated by a call-off from a framework agreement, with the final award published on 31 March 2025. The contract period spanned only on 31 March 2025, with the delivery location set in Durham, postal code DH1 3YG.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in mobile telephones, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Phoenix Software Limited, a large company, was the awarded supplier, demonstrating that larger firms can also competitively fulfil such requirements. The procurement's selective method indicates a preference for pre-qualified suppliers from an established framework, providing streamlined business growth avenues for those already part of such frameworks. Businesses adept at meeting stringent cyber security standards would be particularly well-suited for similar future tenders.
