Opportunity overview

At this stage, we are seeking high-level insight rather than detailed proposals. We are interested in understanding how suppliers could support the City of London with modern and reliable solutions that align with our operational, security, and service delivery needs. The current contract expires at the end of August 2026. The City of London Corporation and the City of London Police currently use a large number of mobile voice and data connections to support a wide range of services. At present, this includes around 2,500 voice connections and 507 data-only connections for the City, supported by a shared 6TB data bundle. Around 1,615 voice connections and 268 data-only connections for the City of London Police, supported by a shared 4.5TB data bundle. We are looking to understand how suppliers could provide reliable, secure, and flexible mobile voice and data services to support these users. This includes strong network coverage across the City and beyond, consistent performance for both voice and data, and the ability to support high volumes of users across different roles, from office-based staff to frontline and operational teams.
