Getting started
The Supplier has a proven track record for delivering projects of this nature on time and within budget. The Supplier can provide references from satisfied customers on request.

The user will download the app to their phone, in which they will be prompted to enter their email address, enterprise password and registration PIN. If their credentials are correct, they will be taken through two or three quick steps to complete enrolment. Device registration is now complete.

Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

The Supplier has a track record of driving positive change for our people, communities and our planet. For example: Through the Supplier's "Meaningful Connections Plan" and "Blueprint" sustainability strategies, the Supplier sets long-term goals to reduce emissions, protect our natural resources, and create a meaningful impact on society. The Supplier has a made huge progress towards the company's Net Zero ambitions in our own operations and making significant headway in our supply chain. Progress is summarised below; these learnings and best practice can be shared with Buyers when awarded a new contract. Carbon Neutrality Target: net zero operations by 2025. Net zero operations, products and supply chain by 2040. 10 years ahead of the Paris Agreement. Renewables By the end of 2025: • Change masts on landlord sites to renewable energy • 40% of the Suppliers vehicles will be electric By the end of 2030 the Supplier will use 100% green energy. Decarbonisation The Supplier is investing in carbon-removal projects and supporting the decarbonisation of the UK economy by providing the connectivity to underpin a low-carbon digital revolution. Carbon Footprint The Supplier has commissioned consultancy to calculate the company's footprint in line including the standards below: • World Resources Institute/World Business Council for Sustainable Development, 2004 • Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Revised Edition Carbon offsetting The Supplier plans to reduce full value chain emissions by at least 90% by 2040, in line with science-based targets. Some residual carbon emissions are expected that will be difficult to completely eliminate (e.g. flights). When 90% is reached, the plan is to offset the rest, using gold standard offsets (usually investing in nature-based solutions, such as tree planting).
Covid-19 recovery

Covid-19 recovery

The Supplier continues to contribute to economic recovery and ambitions to level up society following Covid-19. Examples include:
In 2020, as part of the Supplier’s COVID-19 response, we co-launched ‘Community Calling’, a phone gifting scheme focusing on deprived areas within the UK, aiming to donate 10,000 smartphones to those who were shielding and needed support. That target has been reached so the project has expanded to more vulnerable people in need across the UK.
The Supplier’s Essential Broadband (EB) tariff was launched in November 2020 for new and existing customers who are in receipt of Universal Credit. The tariff offers 15Mbps for £15 per month, with no prices rises, and no fixed-term contract length. Since its launch, feedback has led to the development of a new and improved customer acquisition journey, now with an automatic live chat feature to simplify the process for eligible customers. Thousands of customers use this and the Supplier is working with government to understand who is eligible so those who need it most know about the offer and how to access it.
Tech-Lending Community Hubs: In January 2022, the Supplier launched a new project that will see grant funding of £400,000 become available to organisations interested in setting up tech lending hubs. This fund will provide one-off grants to organisations who work with temporary accommodation services, that could feasibly set up a lending hub, whereby residents can borrow tablets on a short-term basis. The tablets will be loaded with free data provided by the Supplier through the National Data Bank. Funding has now been awarded to five beneficiaries throughout the UK, which will see pilots operated with all five. Once this process continues to establish, the target is to expand this in collaboration with more customers, as part of the Buyer’s social value partnership.
