Procurement of a Mobile Voice and Data Contract
Decision Maker: Assistant Director of Transformation and Organisation
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Decision:
- To award the contract for the provision of
mobile voice and data to EE based on a 24 month direct award via
the Crown Commissioning framework RM1045, Lot 6. The contract value
is £27,360.
Reasons for the decision:
Revenue savings of £7,500 per annum and
£15,000 over the life of the contract (24 months)
Provides a ‘technology fund’ of £10,000 to assist
with the replacement of ageing mobile device stock
Provides a mobile device management solution which allows policy to
be implemented to restrict access to sites and installation of
software applications in breach of the ICT Information Security
policy. This solution will also provide an automatic deployment
method of approved mobile software applications
Alternative options considered:
- allowing the current contract to ‘roll
over’. Rejected as this would not conform to Council
procurement rules and would not deliver savings.
- appointing an alternative provider. The three main mobile voice
and data providers were engaged in competitive dialogues and
requested to provide quotes based on our requirements. EE provided
the best value of all providers. Coverage was also considered and
EE provided the best overall coverage across the
district.
