Vehicle Connectivity Request for Information 2

Description

We are seeking a solution to replace our existing unmanaged routers within approximately 500 fleet vehicles. Vehicles would gradually be migrated in-line with business need and as new vehicles are introduced and old, decommissioned. 
      
      As part of this RFI the Force wishes to understand the following:
      o Outline costs for budgeting and planning purposes.
      
      o Identification of revenue and capital costs. 
      
      o Gain a conceptual design for different solutions available based on the requirements outlined in this RFI. Within the design an architectural diagram and description of components should be added.
      
      o Understand potential timelines around migrating to a new solution, bearing in mind the desire of the Force to gradually transition to the new service to minimise operational impact. 
      
      o Learn how pricing is structured so requirements can be created around a future catalogue. 
      
      o Build an understanding around the markets price vs quantity. 
      
      o Under how realistic certain requirements are. For example, is a 4-hour SLA possible for managed components of the service.   
      
      
      Deadline for responses is 31st January 2025 at 12:00 (Noon). 
      
      Please note that this is a request for information process only, no contract will be awarded upon completion of this process. Information submitted will help inform our requirements to allow for a specification to be created and tender opportunity posted later in the year.
