Description
This is a call for Expressions of Interest ("EOI") pertaining to an intended procurement exercise by THA.
THA are considering and developing procurement plans for the identification of, and award to, a suitably capable provider for the provision and management/support of its Mobile SIMS. Further information can be found within the EOI response document appended to this Notice.
This Expression of Interest Exercise is thus intended to develop a further understanding of the Market Capability pertaining to Provision of SIMs and Management Support, and identify suitably capable and qualified suppliers (as well as develop further understanding on suitable procurement frameworks/vehicles) who may meet Together Housings requirements.
Such Expression of Interest exercise is intended to inform Together Housing's Planned Procurement Activity, and providing a response to this EOI in no way constitutes any form of agreement or assurance from Together Housing, regarding the development of its procurement process or selection of Procurement "Route to market" for this provision.
Together Housing currently utilises approximately 2,000 Mobile SIMS across its business, primarily on the O2 mobile network. As part of the wider organisational Digital Strategy, which is seeking to refresh and modernise the Digital Provision across the organisation, Together Housing is exploring the potential for award to a single provider, capable of providing up to 3,000 concurrent SIM's across multiple Mobile Networks and capable of providing greater centralisation, management and control of SIM provision for the organisation.
This is especially pertinent in relation to the mobile or remote workers, who utilise mobile connectivity (voice and data) in the performance of their role across the Together housing geographic area of operations.
Together Housing is thus looking for further information from the market pertaining to:
- Mobile SIMs
- Mobile Devices
- SIM Management
Prospective organisations who wish to express their interest must ensure that they have completed and returned the document, with all questions completed and responded to within the document, in advance of the EOI Closure deadline.
Responses received after this deadline may not be considered or accounted for by Together Housing.
Please be advised that any additional documentation, unless requested as part of the question set within this EOI document, shall not be considered or reviewed by Together Housing.
