Telecom Contracts and Tenders

There is 1 telecom notice at OPEN stage in the corpus today, alongside 42 sitting at pre-tender stage and 168 already awarded. Telecom is a lower-volume category than sectors like IT or construction, so the open count moves quickly and is worth checking again rather than relied on as a snapshot.

Telecom contracts cover mobile and fixed-line services, telecommunications networks, connectivity upgrades, and the equipment and maintenance work that keeps them running. CPV code 32412100 (Telecommunications network) appears on 108 of the notices matching this filter, and 64200000 (Telecommunications services) on 68 of them, the two most common codes in the corpus.

Framework call-offs are common. Notices in the corpus include call-offs under YPO's Network Connectivity and Telecommunication Solutions framework and G-Cloud agreements for hosted telephony and Microsoft Teams direct routing, alongside standalone tenders for network builds and mobile SIM contracts. Across UK suppliers generally, 44% say frameworks are their main route to market.

Both. The corpus includes council-level deals such as mobile telephony and network cabling contracts, alongside national programmes like the DfE's Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy for regional broadband and Network Rail's telecoms and data-transmission projects. No single buyer type dominates the sample.

The most frequent in the corpus are 32412100 (Telecommunications network), 64200000 (Telecommunications services), 50330000 (Maintenance services of telecommunications equipment) and 64227000 (Integrated telecommunications services). They are not applied as a filter on this page: results are driven by the keyword phrases above, since combining them with CPV codes would hide on-intent notices that carry no code, or a neighbouring one.
