## Summary

The Riverside Group Limited procured a mobile voice and data service for its operations. The requirement covers mobile-telephone services, including mobile voice connectivity and data provision, delivered across the United Kingdom. This is a telecommunications services opportunity for mobile network operators and communications providers able to supply and support mobile services nationally. The buyer is The Riverside Group Limited, a public undertaking based in Speke, Liverpool. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate service areas, so the relevant capability is end-to-end mobile voice and data provision. Businesses serving housing providers, other public undertakings or organisations with dispersed users may find the buyer and service profile particularly relevant when assessing comparable future requirements.

The procurement has been awarded and completed. The Riverside Group Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Vodafone Limited was selected for the single lot, with the award recorded as active. The award date was 27 August 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its gross value is £155,311.20. The contract is below threshold and the tender status is complete. The evaluation outcome reflects a direct award rather than competitive assessment, so no competing tenderers or comparative scoring are reported. The selected supplier is Vodafone Limited, a large telecommunications company. The service is contracted for the United Kingdom.

This procurement provides a clear example of demand from a large housing organisation for a nationally delivered mobile voice and data service. A credible future competitor would need to operate at sufficient scale to support mobile telephone users across the United Kingdom and provide both voice and data services as one managed requirement. Relevant suppliers are likely to include mobile network operators and communications providers with nationwide coverage, operational support and the ability to manage an organisation-wide service. The direct-award route used here shows that below-threshold mobile requirements may be bought without a competition, so suppliers should understand the buyer’s procurement route and demonstrate a straightforward, dependable service proposition when similar needs are reviewed.
