1. MOBILE TELEPHONY
1.1. Background
The Authority currently uses the following mobile telephony:
• 145 Smartphone lines
• 145 Mobile devices (1/3 to be replaced over next 3 to 9 months)
• 33 Data only
• 39 BES service blackberry
All figures are appropriate and holdings may increase or decrease as Embassy operations may require.
It is expected that an increased use of instant messaging apps will further reduce the number of SMS messages sent by all types of phones.
All smartphone mobile lines do not and will not use the same tariff. Data usage varies by user, as do roaming requirements. For each mobile line the appropriate tariff will be indicated during the transition period to the new contract.
The solution delivered by the successful supplier must meet the Authority's current "As-Is" requirements and those future requirements linked to its Technology Overhaul programme. Enhanced service delivery and value for money/added value must also be provided for the future solution.
