Telecom tenders can be quite daunting if you’re new to the procurement process. The telecommunications industry itself is a giant industry that has seen an increase in funding over the last year. It’s an industry that is ever-expanding due to the demand for digitisation, increased internet speeds and security.
Last year, the topic of telecommunications was in the news quite frequently. The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in employees working from home. This certainly stretched the telecoms and broadband providers to their limit. Broadband speeds got notably slower as providers struggled with an increase in users.
5G is the newest generation of mobile telecommunications infrastructure. The UK government has ambitions to have the majority of the population covered by 5G by 2027. The National Cyber Security Centre (NSCS) assessed the use of high-risk vendors (HRVs) regarding the instillment of 5G.
A new Telecommunications Security Bill came into place to protect the UK from cyber threats. This is because the government is focused on the security of the UK’s telecoms networks. The government decided to undertake a comprehensive review of the supply arrangements. This was done by the UK telecoms Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) in 2019. They identified the need to alleviate a number of risks from high-risk vendors. They sought to solve this by introducing a new robust telecoms security framework.
The government has rolled out their new Telecoms Security Requirements (TSR). These focus on the importance of having a sustainable, diverse and competitive supply chain. This helps drive innovation in the marketplace and reduces the risk of dependency on individual vendors. It will also explore new opportunities in the research and development subsectors. These have been created to ensure a secure ecosystem for delivering premium telecom products and services.
The Telecoms Diversification Strategy has a set a targeted plan backed by £250 million. It focuses on three core strands:
The funding is to help implement priority measures and build momentum to achieve all three. This is so they are no longer dependant on a small number of suppliers. This is great news, particularly if you’re on the lookout for more telecom tenders.
We are investing billions to roll out 5G and gigabit broadband across the country. But the benefits can only be realised if we have full confidence in the security and resilience of our networks.
“This ground-breaking bill will give the UK one of the toughest telecoms security regimes in the world. It allows us to take the action necessary to protect our networks.”
Such activity is likely to mean increased telecom tender opportunities for network operators, telecoms suppliers and international governments. All to achieve a shared goal of a vibrant and competitive telecoms supply market.

These are just a few examples of previous telecom tenders that could be found on our Technology Tenders Portal. Our team search thousands of sources every day to find the latest opportunities.
Unlike other portals that use Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes, we use manual tracking. Telecom tenders may be tagged with several different CPV codes. However, this coding system can be ambiguous, leaving room for missed opportunities.
Instead of using CPV codes, our Opportunity Trackers manually track and tag contracts. They do this to ensure the tenders reach the right business. You can filter all live tenders by using keywords, budget, industry or even location. This takes a lot of the headache out of searching for tendering opportunities. Leaving you time to focus on the important things such as the running of your business.
We host all kinds of tenders in both the public and private sectors. These are inclusive of, but not limited to:
We cover many sub-sectors, including:
