- Framework
- An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
- Open for bids / closing date
- You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
- Clarification questions
- A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
- Conditions of participation
- What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
- Bids are scored on
- How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
- Lots
- A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
- Area (ITL)
- The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
- UK4 and other notice codes
- Official codes for the type of notice. A "tender notice" means bids are being invited.

Description
RM6391 Mobile Voice and Data Services 2 (MVDS2) is the replacement for the RM6261 Mobile Voice and Data Services agreement (MVDS) which expires in December 2026.
MVDS2 builds 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 maintains 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 creates 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.
