## Summary

The Home Office procured SIM card services for people seeking asylum who are staying in initial accommodation without Wi-Fi. This is a supply and service requirement: providing SIM cards and related connectivity to support residents’ access to mobile communications. The stated delivery area covers the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The requirement is focused on the asylum seeker cohort in initial accommodation, rather than general mobile services for the public sector.

The procurement is complete and awarded. The Home Office used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, and SCG Corporate Limited was selected. The award value is £457,538. The award date was 21 September 2026, and the contract runs from 21 September 2026 to 20 September 2028. The tender submission deadline was 30 March 2026 at 16:00. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. No lots or evaluation criteria are stated in the published process information.

This award demonstrates demand from the Home Office for SIM cards and mobile connectivity tailored to asylum seekers in initial accommodation without Wi-Fi. Suppliers competing for a similar future requirement would need to show they can provide SIM card services reliably to this specific user group and support delivery across a broad geography, including the UK and overseas destinations. The scale of the awarded requirement indicates a substantial service rather than a small, local supply, while its framework call-off route means familiarity with the relevant purchasing framework would be commercially important. The stated SME suitability indicates that smaller providers may be able to compete, provided they can meet the operational reach and service needs.
