Network operator Orange has won a three year contract to supply mobile telephony services to British public sector organisations. Government bodies such as the National Health Service had previously been restricted to purchasing such services from Vodafone.
According to Orange, the government has over 240,000 mobile telephones in use. Orange has agreed pricing and contract terms in advance with the Office of Government Commerce, eliminating the need for individual tenders.
Richard Hanscott, vice-president, Business Solutions, Orange UK, said: “This contract is a significant one for Orange, proving we have the products and services to win major contracts in the business space. This healthy competition and more efficient, cost effective process also signals a major opportunity for the government to embrace wirefree working.”
