## Summary

Norfolk County Council recently completed a procurement process titled "SIM Cards where the Vodafone Service will not provide the required signal strength - S521139", focusing on the provision of SIM cards as a backup service when Vodafone coverage is inadequate. The procurement falls under the industry category of goods, specifically related to SIM cards. The contract was awarded to EE Limited and is scheduled to run from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027, with a total contract value of £37,000. The procurement method used was below threshold - unknown, reflecting the relatively modest scope of the contract.

Medium to large-scale telecommunications firms would be well-suited to handle such procurement needs, as it involves meeting the strategic requirements of public sector clients like Norfolk County Council.
