This widely recognized framework, known as YPO 1229 Network Connectivity and Telecommunications Solutions 2, focuses on providing comprehensive network connectivity, smart city and IoT technologies, cybersecurity solutions, communication services, and mobile, voice, and data services.

The YPO 1229 Framework is specifically designed to serve Schools, Colleges, Universities, and major Local Government departments, including Social Services, Catering, Transport, Highways, Building Services, Administration, Waste Management, and Emergency Service Authorities.

Running for a duration of two years through 17 March 2027, the framework may also offer two additional extensions of 12 months each. It emphasizes both current technologies and those poised to evolve over its lifespan.

“With a maximum of only 20 supplier places available per Lot, we are especially pleased to have been included in six of the seven available Lots. This latest public sector framework success for MLL offers a significant and targeted additional route to market for our core network services and growing portfolio of value-added solutions,” said David Robson, Head of Bid Management at MLL Telecom.

“YPO’s streamlined, highly accredited framework provides a straightforward and secure procurement process for our public sector customers, including Local Authorities, Councils, Schools, Social Housing providers, and the Emergency Services Authorities. The Direct Award facility will be particularly popular with customers looking to seamlessly extend existing network services contracts or incorporate new services,” said Stuart Wallis, Chief Commercial Officer at MLL Telecom.

Wallis underscored that securing this framework not only highlights MLL's capabilities in providing public sector-focused network solutions but also demonstrates the company’s commitment to high-quality service, security, safety, compliance, sustainability, and social value.

“YPO is delighted to welcome MLL Telecom as a supplier on the new Network Connectivity and Telecommunication Solutions 2 framework. YPO’s compliant framework offerings provide public sector customers, from schools to social housing providers, with easy access to cost-effective solutions from market leaders,” said Joe Holland, YPO ICT Category Advisor.
