The government is aiming to save £170m a year with a new set of
contracts for mobile voice and data services.
The services will be
available through OGCbuying.solutions. OGCbuying.solutions is
part of the Treasury, and provides the public sector with a route
to buying products and services.
The suppliers who won the contracts include BT, O2, Orange,
T-Mobile and Vodaphone.
Nigel George, project manager at Buying Solutions Mobile
Solutions Project Manager, said the new contracts secure "existing
benefits enjoyed by customers, provides new savings opportunities
and satisfies the growing demand for more flexible mobile voice and
data services designed to meet the demands of the transformational
government agenda."
