CR 345/02/20 - Mobile Phone Services

Decision Maker: Assistant Director of Customers, Digital and ICT

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

In 2013, the Council entered into a contract with Virgin Media for Business for the provision of mobile phone services through the Yorkshire and Humber Publish Services Network (YHPSN) for a period of 5 years with options to extend the contract for a further +1+1 years.
The decision is to utilise the final contract extension option to enable the Council to consider future procurement requirements and to plan any potential migration to a new supplier
This is funded from revenue (MP015) and has an annual value of £315,945.

Decision:

Utilise the remaining option to extend the current mobile phone contract with Virgin Media for one year from 1st March 2020 to 28th February 2021.

Alternative options considered:

Do nothing - this is not an option as we need to ensure ongoing service provision of mobile telephony
Utilise extension option - recommended option due to timescales. It will also allow for planning of the future provision of mobile telephony from March 2021
