The procurement process falls under the category of telecommunications and data transmission services, specifically aiming to gather information for a business case to support a mobile connectivity solution. The relevant procurement stage is currently planning, with a communication indicating that future notices will be made available by 1st July 2021. The location for this project is across the UK, involving the engagement of multiple carrier networks including O2, Vodafone, EE, and Three. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications services, particularly those offering data services compatible with mobile networks. Companies that provide scalable data packages, managed services for SIM card provision, and detailed monitoring tools would be well suited to participate. As the railway looks to improve its digital connectivity in response to passenger demand, suppliers capable of offering innovative solutions, competitive pricing structures, and flexible contract options will likely position themselves favourably in the bidding process. ## Notice The purpose of this PIN is to commence market engagement and request information to support the building of a business case for this requirement. Mobile connectivity solution to provide data services to LNERs fleet of 65 trains using 4G mobile network services Provide 4G Service on O2 / Vodafone / EE and Three Provide a managed service for the provision of SIM cards, Compatible with the Icomera Mobile Gateway (X5) Detailed monitoring and reporting suite to provide usage data and manage connections ### Lot Information Lot 1 LNER is seeking the most advantageous product that will allow to scale services as passenger demand increases and therefore is looking to engage with the market to gain an understanding of what is available. LNER are open to separate agreements per carrier network or a single agreement that is managed by one supplier to give LNER access to all carrier networks. Due to the nature of the LNER route, there will be more data required from O2 and EE carrier networks than Vodafone and Three. LNER is looking for a contract to cover minimum volume purchases with fixed bands for increments, e.g. 10TB/month with increments of 500GB as required and/or upfront bundles of data on a "use as you go" and pricing options should be based on cost per GB of data used. Ideally scaling would be automated or managed for LNER within agreed budgets and consumption would need to be accurately forecast over the contract.
