The requirement is classified as telecommunications services (CPV 64200000). It is intended to support the Council’s mobile communications needs and related work to upgrade buildings. The procurement is a mini-competition under the Crown Commercial Service RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services framework, using its lot 2 route. Businesses operating in mobile telecommunications, mobile voice and data provision, network services, or associated building upgrade delivery would find the subject matter relevant. The recorded procurement is led by The City of Edinburgh Council, with the requirement applying to its operations and estate in Edinburgh. This procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition run under lot 2 of the RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services framework. The tender process began on 2 January 2026. Virgin Media Business was selected as the supplier, with an awarded value of £2,800,000. The related contract is recorded as active. One bid was recorded for the competition. The procurement covers mobile contracts and building upgrades, with full requirements set out in the tender documents. The opportunity used a framework call-off route rather than a standalone open tender. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and awarded value; it does not set out a separate award date, contract end date, contract duration, lot-by-lot split, or detailed scoring breakdown. For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from The City of Edinburgh Council for a combined mobile telecommunications and building-upgrade requirement delivered through a public-sector framework mini-competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to provide mobile voice and data services at council scale, manage the associated service arrangements, and deliver or coordinate upgrades to relevant buildings. Experience of framework call-offs and mini-competitions would be commercially important, as would the operational capacity to support a public-sector customer across its mobile communications needs. Businesses with both telecommunications delivery capability and suitable building-upgrade expertise, or strong delivery partners for the complementary work, are best aligned. ## Notice The Council is awarding a mini competition which was ran on lot 2 of RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services, further details can be located here:https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6261This mini competition is for Mobile contracts and building upgrades.Full details are in the tender documents. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564264 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Sep 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,800,000 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | The City of Edinburgh Council | | Additional buyers | Argyll and Bute Council; Consumer Scotland; Fife Council; LHC Procurement Group for the Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA); Lothian Health Board; NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde; North Lanarkshire Council; Perth & Kinross Council; Registers of Scotland; Scottish Fire and Rescue Service; Scottish Government | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Postcode area | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH8 8BG | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh East and Musselburgh | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 19 | | Supplier names | Virgin Media Business; John Doe Group; Ace Taxis Perth Ltd; MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd; Bell Group Limited; Jump Research; Quo Imus Limited; Morgan Philips Executive Search; Central Roofing & Building Services Ltd; Bright Digital Marketing LTD (Bright Signals); Gartner UK Limited; Zurich Municipal; Holyrood PR; Nuffield Health; Spire Healthcare; Laser Vision Scotland Ltd; Circle Health Group Limited; Tropical Health Consulting LLP; Harley Haddow Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services ### Codes - 64200000 - Telecommunications services ## Release History - 10 Sep 2026 at 12:41 - Award - PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award - https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=SEP564264 ## Notice URLs - http://firescotland.gov.uk - http://https://www.nhslothian.scot/ - http://https://www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk - http://www.argyll-bute.gov.uk - http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk - http://www.fife.gov.uk - http://www.nhsggc.scot/about-us/procurement/ - http://www.pkc.gov.uk/article/15478/Tenders-and-contracts - http://www.ros.gov.uk - http://www.scotland.gov.uk - http://www.scottishprocurement.scot - https://consumer.scot/ - https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM6261This ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
