Executive Summary:
The Government Procurement Services have awarded a PSN Services Framework on behalf of the Public Sector. The PSN Services Framework is split into 10 Lots covering a range of services. Lot 6 is for the Provision of Mobile Voice and Data Services and has the option to directly award a contract to one of the six suppliers on the framework.
Taking into consideration the cost to change to another provider and the network coverage in the Cleveland area, a direct award approach is the only viable option that meet operational requirements for mobile use and offers the best value for money.
