Framework for the Supply of Lockable Mobile Phone Pouches
Framework Description
BlueLight Commercial's framework for the supply of lockable mobile phone pouches covers the pouches, bases used to open them, and associated support services. It allows police and crime commissioners and their equivalents, and schools, to create phone-free environments while letting people keep their own devices. The framework is a single lot, published under Find a Tender notice 059395-2026, and runs to 10 June 2034 with no extension.
Context & Use Case
Schools are a major intended user, adopting pouches so that pupils keep their phones but cannot use them during lessons. Police and crime commissioners and their equivalents can use the same products where devices need to be secured. Buyers can call off pouches, opening bases and support from the appointed suppliers rather than running their own procurement.
Scope of Services
Supply of lockable mobile phone pouches Pouch-opening bases Implementation and support services
Lots
Single lot
Who Can Apply
Suits manufacturers and distributors of lockable pouches and related device management products. The framework is live and applications are closed, so suppliers not already appointed cannot join until it is re-tendered, which is unlikely before its 10 June 2034 end date.
Buyer Benefits
Schools can buy a ready-made phone-free solution without running their own tender, and benefit from pricing agreed at national level. Police buyers get the same products through a route designed for policing. Buyers will value product durability, simple implementation for staff, support during roll-out and clear evidence of results in other schools.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should promote their place on the framework to schools and trusts, since many will not yet know the route exists. Prepare simple quote templates, roll-out guidance and evidence of impact from existing schools. Suppliers outside the framework should check notice 059395-2026 for the award and look for regional school or police procurements in the meantime.
