ICT13516 Mobile Services Procurement

This Contract Notice relates to the Corporate Mobile Services re-tender being undertaken by Transport for London (TfL). This procurement is also open to the GLA group including and not limited to GLA, LLDC, MOPAC and OPDC.

TfL has a mobile estate of c. 60,000 SIM cards covering, primarily:

-corporate and operational staff mobile device users (Corporate Services); and

-‘machine-to-machine’ (M2M) communications for equipment such as Oyster card readers, ticket machines, ULEZ cameras and the iBus tracking system (M2M Services).

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").

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.

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).

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).

Tenderers may bid for either or both Lots.

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.
