Connectivity and device procurement advisory

Vendor-, MNO- and MVNO-independent support to specify, tender, evaluate and negotiate IoT connectivity and device supply.

The problem

IoT tariffs, aggregator platforms and device contracts are hard to compare like for like. Pooled data, per-SIM fees, platform charges and exit terms vary enough that the cheapest headline rate is frequently the most expensive contract over asset life.

Who it is for

Procurement and technology leaders running an IoT connectivity RFP, a meter or module supply tender, or testing an incumbent renewal.

What we do

  • Requirements grounded in the assessed device estate and traffic profile
  • RFI and RFP documentation and process management
  • MNO, MVNO, aggregator, module and meter vendor evaluation
  • Technical and commercial normalisation of bids over full asset life
  • Contract, SLA, data-pool and exit-term review
  • Negotiation support through to award

Deliverables

  • Supplier evaluation model and scoring record

  • Contract review notes and negotiation positions

Outcomes
