ICT13516 Mobile Services Procurement

<p>Mobile Services Procurement.</p>
<p>This Contract Notice relates to the Corporate Mobile Services re-tender being undertaken by Transport for London (TfL).</p>
<p>This procurement is also open to the GLA group including and not limited to GLA, LLDC, MOPAC and OPDC.</p>
<p>TfL has a mobile estate of c. 60,000 SIM cards covering, primarily:</p>
<p>-corporate and operational staff mobile device users (Corporate Services); and</p>
<p>-‘machine-to-machine’ (M2M) communications for equipment such as Oyster card readers, ticket machines, ULEZ cameras and the iBus tracking system (M2M Services).</p>
<p>The majority of these services are currently provided by Telefonica O2, albeit some other service providers supply some other smaller volumes of mobile and SIM-related services (collectively "Mobile Services").</p>
<p>This Procurement is to put in place arrangements for the continued and future delivery of TfL’s Mobile Services. The Procurement is split into two lots – the Corporate Services Lot and M2M Services Lot.</p>
<p>For the Corporate Services Lot, the intention is to award a contract ("Corporate Services Contract") with an initial contract term of 3 years with two TfL options to extend for periods of 12 months each, up to 2 further years (i.e. a maximum total term of 5 years).</p>
<p>For the M2M Services Lot, the intention is to award a contract ("M2M Services Contract") with an initial contract term of 7 years with annual TfL options to extend for periods of 12 months each, up to 7 further years (i.e. a maximum total term of 14 years).</p>
<p>Tenderers may bid for either or both Lots.</p>
<p>TfL reserves the option to consolidate Lot 1 and Lot 2 services into a single Contract if the same Supplier is appointed for both Lots.</p>
