In plain English

UK Sports Institute wants to buy mobile phone services for about 310 staff over 36 months, starting 24 January 2027. This covers calls, mobile data and text messages, and includes supplying mainly iPhone 17e handsets with a few higher-specification iPhone 17 models. The organisation wants to keep set-up and ongoing costs low, and the estimated value is £241,800.

What the buyer wants

• Provide mobile voice, data and SMS services for 310 connections for 36 months from 24 January 2027 • Supply iPhone 17e handsets for most staff and some iPhone 17 handsets for a small number of users • Support staff who work remotely, travel frequently and spend periods of up to several months abroad, while keeping one-off set-up costs and ongoing charges low

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice sets no explicit eligibility thresholds, but the scale of 310 connections across several UK sites, the need for service while staff are abroad for months at a time, and the supply of handsets together point to a provider with the capacity to deliver nationwide and overseas mobile service at volume, which most small businesses are unlikely to be able to offer alone.
