Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire Police has awarded a contract for Vodafone SIM Cards, valued at GBP 63,000, under a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract pertains to the provision of 200 SIM cards for a three-year period, starting from 12 January 2026 and concluding on 11 January 2029. The procurement, classified under the CPV code "31712112 - SIM cards", falls within the goods category and is specifically targeted for the East Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The procurement method adopted was selective, with the tender process now reaching completion as of the award date on 13 January 2026.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses involved in telecommunications and SIM card distribution, especially those capable of servicing large scale contracts efficiently and reliably. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not specifically targeted, larger firms such as Vodafone Limited, which has been selected as the supplier, are well-suited for such projects. Companies looking to engage in similar future opportunities should focus on establishing framework agreements to position themselves as ideal candidates for selective procurement processes.
