## Summary

The procurement process for the "Mobile refresh 2024" project, led by Nuclear Restoration Services Limited, has successfully concluded. This project, classified under industry category CPV 32250000 for mobile telephones, aims to provide mobile devices and accessories within the UK. The procurement was carried out using a restricted procedure and is now in the award stage. The contract was awarded to Virgin Media Business Limited on 14 May 2024, following a selective bidding process with key evaluation criteria focused on price. Despite being a large-scale procurement, it saw four bids, with the lowest valid bid being £601,486 and the highest £656,003.4.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the mobile telecommunications industry, particularly those specializing in the manufacture and supply of mobile devices and accessories. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with competitive pricing strategies and the ability to meet the specified requirements can benefit from similar future contracts. Given the scale and scope of this procurement and the involvement of a major player like Virgin Media Business Limited, companies looking to expand their footprint in the public sector telecommunications market should actively seek out such selective procurement opportunities.
