4 4 Eligible Agencies The government agencies that are eligible to buy from the AoG contracts are: Public Service departments State Services agencies organisations in the wider State sector organisations in the wider Public sector Participating Agencies An Eligible becomes a Participating when it signs up to using the AoG panel contracts. This involves signing a Letter of Accession to the Memorandum of Understanding with the Centre of Expertise. Introduction This guide provides customers in Eligible Agencies with the information they need to buy from the All of Government (AoG) contract for the supply of Mobile Voice and Data Services (MVD). See also the Buyers Guide to AoG Contracts on the website. This Guide provides government agencies with an overview of: the key benefits of buying off this AoG contract; what you can buy off the contract, and how ; how agencies will transition to the contract; and how the contract relationships will work. Mobile Voice and Data Services The AoG MVD panel contracts are managed by a dedicated team called a Centre of Expertise (CoE) based in the Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment. The contract commenced in April 2012 for an initial term of three years with two further rights of renewal for one year each (i.e years). The first one year renewal term has been exercised with the agreement now extended until 23 April This initiative is part of the Government s Procurement Reform Programme. Eligible and Participating Agencies An Eligible who which wishes to purchase from the MVD panel of Suppliers (Suppliers) must formally sign up to the AoG contract. Once the agency has done this, it is defined as a Participating. Participating Agencies can then purchase their Mobile Voice and Data Services from one or more suppliers on the list of panel Suppliers. A similar guide has been developed for the Suppliers. All AoG-related guides are available under the Government Contracts section of the government procurement web pages:
5 5 Overview of the Contract This contract covers Mobile Voice and Data Services, including a number of optional Value Add Services and runs for an initial term of three years with two rights of renewal, for 12 months each. The first renewal has been exercised with the agreement now expiring in April The contract has been awarded to Spark Digital, 2 Degrees and Vodafone (together known as Panel Suppliers). The Panel Suppliers will provide core services covering Mobile Voice and Data as well as a number of optional Value Add Services. Participating Agencies can buy from any Panel Suppliers, selecting the plan type and structure that best meets their business requirements. Participating Agencies can spilt their business between Panel Suppliers in order to meet business requirements (ie. achieve required mobile coverage). Agencies using a third party agent to manage these services can continue using these services and enjoy the benefits of the new All-of-Government prices. The Benefits There are a number of benefits for government agencies when purchasing under the AoG MVD panel contract: Substantial cost savings in comparison with the Syndicated Mobile contracts; Price transparency and certainty preventing bill shock and hidden costs; Clearly defined service levels ensuring services are available, reliable and of high quality; High quality domestic and international support services consisting of a mix of self service and personal support models; Flexible services enabling participating agencies to continuously optimise their mobile and data services without incurring penalties or other prohibiting charges; Value adding reporting providing agencies with the information required to manage their mobile and data services and associated device fleet; Account management services which focus on value for money for participating agencies through provision of continuous improvement, benchmarking, billing and service audits; and Timely, accurate and complete invoicing. What stays the same? On a day-to-day basis it is business-as-usual for agencies to use these panel contracts. You ll still: have complete freedom to choose the individual Panel Supplier/s that you want to use; deal directly with Panel Supplier/s to manage your Mobile Voice and Data requirements; and have an extensive range of devices, services and plan types to choose from.
6 6 What s different and better? There are several key changes including improvements and value-add benefits for agencies. you do not need to run your own procurement process; the ICT CoE manages all panel contracts with the Suppliers; you will save money through competitive rates - we ve used the collective buying power of the public and state sector to negotiate best price contracts ; you will have choice and flexibility to use the agreements in the way that best suits your requirements; you will be able to assess the value-for-money opportunity by comparing the rates using benefit calculator developed by the CoE; the Suppliers exceed the minimum requirements of capability and capacity to deliver services nationwide to Government; You ll have access to consolidated reporting on your agency s spend on Mobile Voice and Data Services; including an undertaking by Suppliers to ensure that you remain on the most appropriate plan type over the term of the agreement; You will have access to a number of optional Value Add Services from Supplier/s; and Your participation assists in driving better value for money outcomes across the government. How to Transition to this Contract The process for Agencies to transition to using the AoG MVD Supplier panel is the same as every other AoG contract. The following outlines the steps. 1. Eligible Agencies become Participating Agencies when they sign a Letter of Accession to the Memorandum of Understanding between the agency and the Centre of Expertise 2. Centres of Expertise will liaise with Participating Agencies to support them to transition to the AoG contract at the earliest opportunity 3.

12 12 Appendix 1 - Frequently Asked Questions 1. Where can I find the details of the negotiated rates? Full details are available to Eligible Agencies, which have signed and returned a nondisclosure agreement. MVD.CoE@mbie.govt.nz 2. What is the scope of the contract? Refer the scope of agreement on pages Is my agency expected to buy from the lowest priced Supplier? Participating Agencies are expected to buy from the best value-for-money Supplier that meets their business needs. In some cases this will not be the Supplier with the lowest price. 4. Can my agency purchase outside of the AoG contract if we can negotiate a better deal? Not with respect to the core services covering Mobile Voice and Data. However, Value Add Services are optional to any Participating. We have been able to negotiate significant overall savings for government, through the combined buying power of the overall State sector. 5. My agency has special requirements that are not covered under the scope of this agreement, how do I access these? All contracted Suppliers have committed to work with Participating Agencies to address special requirements. Please contact the CoE to ascertain the best way to accommodate these requirements. 6. What kind of plans are available under this agreement. Each Supplier has taken a different approach to the way their plans and value propositions are packaged and presented. There are options with or without hardware subsidies, along with bundle and pay as you go all the way through to all you can eat and fixed price per connection type plans, each with their own merits. There are also some options for both low and high volume users. We respect that the Participating will choose the Supplier and plan structure that best meets its requirements. 7. If I want to purchase any of the optional Value Add Services, do I have to purchase these from the same Supplier that I have chosen to fulfil my MVD requirements? No. Participating Agencies may purchase any Value Add Services from any supplier. From a product point of view however some of the Value Add Services offered can only be used on the respective Supplier s network and customer management platform. The CoE would encourage you to work with the Suppliers to ascertain the appropriate options for your organisation. 8. Who do I talk to if I am not happy with the performance of a Supplier?
