Description
RM6391 Mobile Voice and Data Services 2 (MVDS2) is the proposed replacement for the RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services agreement (MVDS) which expires in December 2026. MVDS2 seeks to build upon the success of MVDS by maintaining the existing competitive airtime offering through a rationalised lot structure, focussing on making optional services such as devices, mobile device management etcetera easier to procure on a standalone basis. The lot structure intends to maintain the existing supplier base primarily with the Mobile Network Operators (MNO’s), Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) and re-sellers. The lots will be as follows: Lot 1 - Mobile Catalogue and Optional Services Lot 2 - Mobile Solutions Lot 3 - Telecommunications Audit and Advisory Services MVDS2 will create a compliant framework that leverages the benefits of the new Procurement Regulations, the Procurement Act 2023 (PA23) adopting new mechanisms for Award with and without Competition.
