## Summary

The London Borough of Islington bought a business SMS messaging service, including an SMS module and UK virtual mobile number. The service is intended to support customer engagement through messaging channels. The requirement is for telecommunications and data transmission services, delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement description refers to a global provider of business messaging products, while the stated usage rate is for UK SMS. The service’s charges vary with usage, so the requirement is centred on ongoing message traffic rather than a fixed quantity of SMS. The buying organisation is Islington Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to COMMIFY UK LIMITED. The council used a below-threshold procedure; the specific method is recorded as unknown. The award covers one lot. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its stated value is £168,000 excluding VAT (£201,600 including VAT). The procurement description gives a UK SMS usage rate of £0.899 per SMS and says the contract’s total-life estimate is based on monthly averages, with the overall charge varying according to usage. The award is active, and the contract is active.

For suppliers preparing to compete for this requirement when it next returns to market, the evidence points to a need for a business-focused messaging provider able to supply an SMS module and UK virtual mobile numbers. A credible provider would need to handle usage-based SMS delivery reliably and support customer engagement through traditional and newer digital channels. The service has a defined UK usage price and an estimated annual contract scale, indicating a material recurring messaging requirement rather than an isolated messaging project. COMMIFY UK LIMITED was selected for the work, showing that a specialist commercial messaging provider was suitable for the council’s requirement. Suppliers with operational capacity for continuing SMS traffic and an integrated business messaging offer are the closest fit for this buyer’s stated need.
