MLL Telecom awarded on Housing Procurement Framework
Procurement for Housing award will accelerate MLL’s growing penetration of the Public Sector Housing market
MLL Telecom, a leading provider of secure managed network services to the UK Public Sector, is pleased to announce the company has been awarded a place on the Procurement for Housing (PfH) Telecoms Network and Infrastructure Framework.
MLL is one of just 14 pre-validated vendors on the three-year framework which runs through to February 2029, offering social housing organisations a trusted, compliant and streamlined route to procure networks and telecoms solutions. PfH Members can choose direct award for a fast turnaround or run a mini-competition to find the best fit for their specific requirements.
MLL is included on two of the five specialist lots: Network infrastructure, hardware and cybersecurity covering broadband, fibre, WAN/LAN, managed networks and security solutions; Digital inclusion, Wi-Fi and IoT which brings together community and estate Wi-Fi, environmental sensors, asset monitoring and connected devices.
Gail Harvey, Head of Public Sector Sales, MLL Telecom, said: “Building on the significant contract successes already achieved at Moat and Codi last year, the inclusion of MLL on the PfH Telecoms Network and Infrastructure Framework further highlights our quality and price competitiveness. It also provides us with a focused and straightforward additional route into this rapidly growing market. With only a handful of suppliers on each of the two lots concerned, MLL are strongly positioned to accelerate market penetration of our core highly secure network services including software defined (SD-WAN), and growing portfolio of innovative Iot and WiFi solutions.”
Sabina Kousar, Category Buyer, Procurement for Housing, said: “PfH is very pleased to have MLL Telecom on the current Telecoms Network and Infrastructure Framework. Our social housing members face increasing pressure to deliver reliable, secure and cost-effective digital services, often at pace. This framework gives them fast, compliant access to a select group of proven suppliers like MLL, helping them reduce complexity, maintain confidence in their procurement decisions, and deliver the connectivity that underpins modern housing services.”
