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.

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.
