What it is for
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service has a requirement for Mobile network SIM cards, these are issued for voice and data use by staff who are wholly or partly mobile workers as part of their role. Users are also allocated a mobile device for home working and as a lone working safety device.The Authority reviewed Crown Commercial framework RM6261 Lot 1 - Mobile Voice and Data Services Catalogue - to direct award the contract to Vodafone as the Authority has been with Vodafone through a third-party re-seller. The justification to re-award the contract is the technical difficulty of changing the provider and the savings realised awarding the contract to Vodafone via the framework. The lenght of the call off contract is over four year period as the framework did not have any maximum call off contract length.
