About this contract

YPO are looking for a supplier to provide a contract with an initial purchase of 300 Sims for internal staff, with a possibility of 300 handsets being purchased as well.

During the PME YPO are wanting to gather what is an acceptable SLA and availability in the market. YPO is also wanting to see rough pricing for handsets to allow budgeting decisions.
