    TENDER DESCRIPTION

    This tender invites proposals for the provision of Acquiring Services and a Payment Services Platform (PSP) to enable direct public transport access through contactless EMV cards within the T-mobilitat system. The core scope encompasses technological and operational services for single ticket operations in a multi-scheme, multi-operator, and multi-territory EMV ABT T-mobility ecosystem, including transaction compensation, cryptographic key management, denial list management, debt recovery, and extensive integration with T-mobility subsystems. Bidders must demonstrate expertise in EMV contactless bank card payment systems, adhere to a disciplined software development methodology aligned with the "Model Tecnològic Comú T-mobilitat," and ensure full compatibility with the EMV T-mobility Technological Solution. The contract has a total duration of 2 years and 3 months, consisting of a 3-month implementation period and a 24-month exploitation period, with a potential for a 12-month extension. Financial requirements include a minimum annual turnover of €2,600,000.00 in the highest-performing year of the last three, related to the contract's activity.

    TENDER BRIEF

    The contract timeline is structured into two consecutive periods, totaling a duration of 2 years and 3 months.

    Contract Duration and Phases:

    • Total Duration: 2 years and 3 months.
    • Implementation Period (Phases 1, 2, and 3): This phase has an estimated duration of three (3) months, starting from the formalization of the contract. During this time, the contractor must complete all necessary actions to enable the service's real operation.
    • Exploitation Period (Phase 4): This period lasts twenty-four (24) months, commencing from the formal validation by the ATM of the effective commissioning. This ensures twenty-four (24) months of effective service provision.

    Start Date: The total and partial terms of the contract will begin counting from the date of authorization for the initiation of services by the Administration, which must be recorded in the contract. Specifically, the implementation period starts from the contract's formalization (T0).

    End Date: Not explicitly stated as a calendar date, but it is implied to be 2 years and 3 months after the start date, with potential for extension.

    Possibility of Extension: The contract, specifically in the exploitation phase (Phase 4), can be extended for an additional twelve (12) months. One such extension is foreseen.

    Key Milestones:

    • Milestone 1 (Fita 1): Formal validation by the ATM that the service is ready for real operation, which signifies the commencement of Phase 4 (Exploitation).
    • Milestone 2 (Fita 2): The start of real operation of the EMV T-mobility ecosystem, which must occur within a maximum of fifteen (15) natural days after Milestone 1.
    • Milestone 3 (Fita 3): The completion of exploitation services, marking the end of the twenty-four (24) month period from the start date of real exploitation (Milestone 2).

    The core scope of work for this tender primarily involves the provision of technological and operational services in an exploitation regime, structured across four areas, which the awarded contractor must manage integrally and in full compatibility with the EMV T-mobility Technological Solution.

    The initial functional scope is exclusively limited to the operation of the single ticket and its related scenarios within a multi-scheme, multi-operator, and multi-territory EMV ABT T-mobility ecosystem. Services beyond the single ticket operation are explicitly out of scope for this contract.

    Key services and deliverables include:

    • Acquiring Services (PSP and Acquiring Bank): Managing payments for public transport access using contactless EMV bank cards via T-mobility terminals.
    • Compensation of transactions: A detailed technical proposal for comprehensive process management (24x7), monitoring and control, incident resolution, continuous improvement, performance analysis, and operational services for specific components (1.22 to 1.25).
    • Cryptographic Key Management: Generation, custody, rotation, and distribution of cryptographic keys (components 9.1 and 9.2) to secure information exchange within the EMV ecosystem.
    • Denial List Management: Generation and distribution of denial lists.
    • Debt Recovery Process Management: Integral management of the debt recovery process (component 4.1).
    • Token Generation and Return to IVR: Integral management of generating and returning tokens to IVR (component 4.1).
    • Integration Services: Integration with various T-mobility subsystems, including banking logic, secure SAM element (EMV kernels), ccTIU ABT terminals, EMV T-mobility Terminal Management System (RMS), and the EMV T-mobility Back-office and associated Portals.
    • Methodology of Work: Specification of the proposed work methodology, including stages, phases, tasks, intermediate deliveries for Acquiring Services, and communication guidelines for T-mobility integration.
    • Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plan.
    • KPIs and monitoring indicators.
