Telematics services

Tender description

Crown Commercial Service has established a framework agreement for the provision of vehicle telematics for Crown Bodies and other buyers. This agreement replaces the previous RM3754 framework agreement. This new agreement offers vehicle telematics products and services to help fleet managers improve the safety and efficiency of fleet operations. The scope of the framework covers the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Suppliers appointed to the framework are responsible for the provision of: (a) Vehicle Telematics Hardware, Software and Associated Products, (b) Data Analysis and Risk Management Solutions. Supply of vehicle telematics hardware, software and associated products. Suppliers on this lot provide vehicle telematics hardware and software solutions for lease, hire or purchase. This includes the provision of associated products such as cameras and tracking solutions for equipment which are fixed or stored within a vehicle. Suppliers may offer supply only and supply and fit solutions. Suppliers on this lot provide a single point of access software platform designed to enable buyers to analyse data from multiple sources in one place in order to support their fleet operation, optimise fleet whole life costs and undertake effective risk management activities. Sources of data may be connected or non-connected. Connected data is typically real-time, dynamic data extracted from a vehicle or telematics equipment which provides vehicle or driver related information, such as vehicle GPS location or driver behaviour. Non-connected data is historical and typically obtained from sources such as a database. The data provides relevant contextual information to support fleet and risk management, for example information related to a driver's training record, licence checks or the number of penalty points they have incurred. Suppliers provide a software solution that: — can integrate with multiple connected and non-connected data sources and systems, allowing buyers to access these data streams in one software hub; — will aggregate and normalise data from multiple sources, enabling Buyers to analyse driver behaviour and vehicle usage in order to effectively manage risk; — is hardware agnostic, facilitating effective fleet management by the Buyer across all vehicle and telematics hardware manufacturers. For avoidance of doubt, suppliers on lot 2 may not provide hardware.
