Communication Tenders
See open communication tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Communication buying here is kit and links rather than the phone bill: two-way radio fleets, TETRA and fireground sets, radio equipment hire, satellite communications, M2M SIMs behind remote telemetry, and IP communications into control rooms. Police and fire services, prisons, airports and utilities are all in it.
956 notices match on record and 484 of them are awarded contracts, with 103 more still at pre-tender. Open tenders are scarce at any one moment, so the awards and the pipeline are where the reading is.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about communication devices, ip communication, radio communication, radio equipment, two way radio, critical communications, satellite communication, m2m communication, tetra radio in the UK public sector.
How do I find communication tenders in the UK?
Two ways in. Search the portals for what is open today, or move earlier and read the buying signals before a notice appears. Stotles aggregates notices from 100+ portals, and platform-wide, 2 notices were added in the last seven days. On this filter only 9 communication notices sit at the open stage, so an alert beats refreshing a search.
What kind of work comes up under communication contracts?
Mostly hardware and the services that keep it running. Two-way radio rental and maintenance, fireground and marine VHF radios, radio equipment hire for events, satellite communications and space segment support, M2M SIM management behind remote terminal units, and installation work on aircraft and vehicle communication fits. Software rarely leads these notices. The radio estate does.
Does this page cover telephony and unified communications?
No, and that is deliberate. This filter is about communication devices and radio networks, not voice services, so telephony platforms, VoIP and unified communications sit on their own pages. The phrase "unified communication" on its own matches 681 notices, and folding it in here would have buried the device and radio work this page exists to surface.
How many communication contracts have been awarded?
484 of the 956 notices on this filter are awarded contracts, against 103 at pre-tender and 9 open. That mix says the useful work is retrospective: read the awards to see what is held and when it runs out, then get in front of the renewal. Platform-wide, 39,865 awarded contracts expire in the next twelve months.
What CPV codes are associated with communication tenders?
The notice sample behind this page carries CPV 32000000 (Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment) most often, then 64200000 (Telecommunications services) and 32570000 (Communications equipment). The codes are recorded as research and are not applied as a filter, because combining them with the keywords drops on-intent notices that carry no code at all.
