Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey procured machine-to-machine (M2M) pooled SIM card services for automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) equipment. The service enables data to be transferred between SIM cards and pools data allowances, helping prevent additional charges when individual allowances are exceeded. This is a telecommunications service rather than the supply of general mobile phones or standard consumer SIMs. Delivery covers the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to telecommunications operators, mobile connectivity providers, SIM and IoT specialists, and suppliers able to support connected policing or vehicle-monitoring equipment. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Guildford and procured the requirement for its policing operations.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. The buyer used a direct award to the existing supplier for goods, services or works similar to existing provision. Wireless Logic Limited was awarded the contract on 2 April 2026. The award and contract value is £180,000 excluding VAT, or £216,000 including VAT. The contract was signed on 21 April 2026 and runs from 21 April 2026 to 20 April 2028. A future signature milestone was recorded for 21 April 2026, and the standstill period ended on 20 April 2026. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement was above the applicable threshold and comprised one completed lot.

This award demonstrates established public-sector demand for pooled M2M SIM connectivity supporting ANPR operations. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide reliable machine-to-machine connectivity, manage pooled data allowances across multiple SIM cards, and prevent or control excess-data charging. It would also need the operational capacity to support connected policing equipment across the United Kingdom, maintain service continuity for vehicle-monitoring applications, and handle usage management at public-sector scale. Experience supplying telecommunications services to organisations with distributed devices would strengthen a future proposition. Suppliers should also be able to explain how their service integrates with existing connectivity arrangements, since the award route relied on similarity to the buyer’s existing provision.
