The agreement, announced on Tuesday, allows CityFibre to supply fibre connectivity to parts of Vodafone UK's mobile cell site locations, selected corporate customer locations, as well as additional interexchange connectivity to support its national network.
CityFibre chief executive Greg Mesch said that after two years of working on the deal, the announcement marks an important milestone.
"As an approved supplier to Vodafone, CityFibre now has the opportunity to bring enhanced pure fibre connectivity to Vodafone's customers," he said.
"Furthermore, the addition of Vodafone to our partner ecosystem means that CityFibre has now secured trading relationships with the majority of Tier 1 service providers in the business and mobile connectivity markets."
The first call-off contract under the agreement is in the City of York where Vodafone will utilise CityFibre's existing 120km York CORE metro fibre network.
