Our partners at Billmonitor, using a combination of Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and Open Data, discovered significant savings can be made against mobile phone contracts across the Public Sector. Their findings highlight that the worst 10% are paying 7x as much as the most efficient 10%. The report outlines that most Public Sector organisations can achieve substantial savings regardless of their size or level of data usage!
Public Sector spend on goods, works and services is at a record level, during the financial year 2020/21 the Public Sector spent £232 billion! Mobile network providers have become a key supplier to the public sector and further digital transformation is essential and inevitable.
The report is based on responses from 555 Public Sector organisations who responded to FOI requests, coupled with Open Source Contract and Spend data from these organisations. These have then been analysed and
This report, the first of its kind, investigated and analysed the mobile phone spend of the Public Sector and suggest that over £200 million could be saved each and every year, and that one-off cost-saving opportunities are being missed.
Although tools are available for procurement professionals across the Public Sector to secure better contracts, complex pricing strategies and a wide range of tariffs, bundles and framework options result in procurement teams struggling to secure the best value-for-money contracts.
