This is a 3+1+1 term contract, leading to a potential 5-year contract duration.

Lot Details

No Lots Division Rationale
TfGM considered breaking these requirements down into separate access software and physical access equipment, but our current dual-supplier architecture creates significant operational friction in fault-finding. Having to manually triage and involve the right supplier has caused documented delays in fault resolution. Aggregating these requirements into a single turnkey contract shifts this triage risk entirely to a single accountable supplier, thereby justifying the strict ≤ 2-hour emergency response SLA required to maintain network safety and facility availability for Bee Network customers.
