## Summary

The City of London Corporation is in the planning stage of a procurement process for Mobile and Data Services, spearheaded by The Mayor and Commonalty and Citizens of the City of London. This prospective procurement is categorized under services, focusing on mobile telephones and data network management. Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is currently underway, with all relevant suppliers invited to contribute by completing a PME Questionnaire. This process aims to gather insights to shape the future procurement strategy and ends on 13 February 2026. The procurement's planned commencement date is slated for 28 August 2026, with a contract period extending up to 2031, potentially reaching 2032 with renewals. The initiative is designed to enhance mobile voice and data service reliability and security within the UK, especially for the City of London and the City of London Police.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mobile and data network services. Companies with capabilities in providing robust, secure, and flexible solutions that focus on high-volume user environments will find this prospect particularly promising. As the City of London requires an extensive coverage network, companies offering advanced technological solutions with consistent voice and data performance are well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this initiative could help businesses expand their footprint in the public sector, thereby nurturing potential for long-term growth and development in this competitive field.

## Notice

At this stage, we are seeking high-level insight rather than detailed proposals. We are interested in understanding how suppliers could support the City of London with modern and reliable solutions that align with our operational, security, and service delivery needs. The current contract expires at the end of August 2026. The City of London Corporation and the City of London Police currently use a large number of mobile voice and data connections to support a wide range of services. At present, this includes around 2,500 voice connections and 507 data-only connections for the City, supported by a shared 6TB data bundle. Around 1,615 voice connections and 268 data-only connections for the City of London Police, supported by a shared 4.5TB data bundle. We are looking to understand how suppliers could provide reliable, secure, and flexible mobile voice and data services to support these users. This includes strong network coverage across the City and beyond, consistent performance for both voice and data, and the ability to support high volumes of users across different roles, from office-based staff to frontline and operational teams.
