Notice Title

Independent Benchmark Assessment of Mobile Coverage in Scotland

Notice Description

SFT wishes to appoint a single provider to undertake an independent benchmark assessment of consumer mobile telephony experience in Scotland, building upon (and including a comparison of the findings of) a previous user experience testing study.

Lot Information

Lot 1

SFT wishes to appoint a single provider to undertake an independent benchmark assessment of consumer mobile telephony experience in Scotland, building upon (and including a comparison of the findings of) a previous user experience testing study. The commission again looks to test the quality of the user experience across Scotland, with the output acting as a benchmark for future analysis of the user experience going forward and as a comparison to the previous exercise undertaken at the end of 2016 / early 2017. The commission should therefore consider the user experience associated with making voice calls (by either 2G/3G or 4G VoLTE) and data access (by either 3G or 4G). This experience should also be measured for the key mobile network providers in Scotland.
