This tender falls under the category of software package and information systems and is currently in the tender stage. The tender period will conclude on 14th July 2017, with a contract period commencing on 1st September 2017 and running until 31st August 2019. The total value of the contract is £100,800 and will facilitate the management and protection of up to 800 mobile devices for Operations staff. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in mobile device management solutions and related software services. Companies offering scalable MDM systems with functionalities for device protection and remote management will find it advantageous to participate. Additionally, firms with experience catering to the social housing sector may excel in addressing the specific needs of Housing & Care 21, especially as the tender aims to support a flexible and mobile workforce. ## Notice Housing & Care 21 are currently in the process of redeveloping their core business infrastructure, culminating in new Housing and Finance systems. Part of this redevelopment involves Operations staff being more mobile in their roles when using the new functionality of the systems. As such, up to 800 tablets will be purchased to aid this change. This will act as Phase 2 of the contract (see specification for details of Phase 1) and will form the sole discussion of this tender exercise Further to this, Housing & Care 21 currently possesses a mobile phone estate of 750 devices, of which 300 are smart phones. Adding these to the agreement will take place in Phase 3. This is coupled to a number of staff utilising their personal phone for their role, which totals approximately 100 people. Their addition to any contract will be considered as Phase 4. The main objective of this tender is to appoint a supplier to provide a comprehensive solution to manage and protect all devices stipulated above. The devices will be remotely managed and maintained via the MDM solution to provide support and software updates and changes in line with business requirements. The solution will also secure the device to prevent unauthorised use and installation of software that is not corporately required.
