## Summary

West Lothian Council bought mobile voice and data services to support its day-to-day operations. The requirement covers mobile network access, voice calls, messaging and data connectivity for phones, smartphones and tablets used across Council services. The services are intended to maintain reliable communications, meet demand for mobile connectivity and support efficient, cost-conscious communications throughout the organisation. The work is delivered in West Lothian, with the Council based in Livingston. This is a mobile telecommunications services requirement (CPV 64212000), rather than a purchase of devices alone: connectivity and the associated voice, messaging and data services are central to the scope.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Vodafone. West Lothian Council used a direct award through the Scottish Government’s Mobile Voice and Data Services framework, rather than running a new open competition for this contract. The award was made on 15 October 2026; the contract was signed on 28 September 2026 and is recorded as active. Its value is £104,000. The requirement was organised as one lot, covering the Council’s mobile network, calling, messaging and data services. The published bid statistics record one bid for the lot. The award information identifies Vodafone as the selected supplier; no separate evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows that West Lothian Council buys organisation-wide mobile voice and data services through a Scottish Government framework, with a direct award route used for this contract. Suppliers competing for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide dependable mobile network coverage and capacity for a public-sector organisation, alongside voice calling, messaging and data connectivity for phones, smartphones and tablets across varied Council services. The Council’s stated objectives point to continuity of service, the ability to accommodate increasing connectivity demand and efficient, cost-conscious communications. Vodafone, a large supplier, secured the award. A credible competitor would therefore need the scale and operational capability to support a broad organisational user base and maintain reliable services, as well as eligibility to supply through the relevant framework.
