My Department availed of the Department of Finance Framework Agreement in respect of the provision of mobile phone services. Vodafone was awarded the contract after a competitive tendering process which evaluated tenders on a range of criteria including best value for money and which took into account the Department's mobile phone usage pattern. The current contract was awarded in August 2008, the duration of which will be in keeping fully with the terms of the Department of Finance Framework Agreement.
