UK Public Sector Mobile Spending Analysis II – Have organisations made the most of RM6261?

Clearly, not every organisation completed a renewal during our review period but more than 2/3 of organisations that provided a response did so using a Crown Commercial Services mobile framework, with over 40% specifically referring to RM6261

We did identify a number of interesting facts as part of our FOI survey:

• • Average costs have declined by about 30% compared to our 2021 research
  • However, the gap between the lowest spending decile and the highest spending decile has doubled from 7x to 14x
  • Cost savings are often not maximised, even on renewal about two thirds of organisations could have saved a further 49%
  • Local Authorities have significantly outperformed NHS Trusts when it comes to savings, although they did start from a higher base

While we believe that RM6261 has made it much easier for public sector organisations to achieve significant savings on their mobile phone spend, we have also seen that a fair number of organisations have not maximised their savings potential.

We have also noticed that a more flexible, creative approach will be needed by those organisations to do not fit the standard profile, be it that they have extremely high data usage, are very small or only have a few dozen devices.
