ITSO AMS-HOPS Lot

Introduction & Lot Scope

The SAM National Procurement Framework is aimed at organisations who wish to procure ITSO or ticketing services and goods directly, rather than through the SAM Managed Service.  It has been developed as a national resource to allow simple and seamless access to an extensive range of ITSO services and goods without organisations having to complete individual, costly and time-consuming procurement exercises.

The ITSO AMS-HOPS is the core ITSO component which acts as the key conduit between all other elements of an ITSO Scheme. There is a great importance on the ability of any ITSO Scheme to provide a reliable means of generating, hosting and exchanging data between various ITSO and non-ITSO components, whilst at the same time ensuring full transparency of the activities undertaken through user-accessible views into the ITSO AMS-HOPS, high-quality reporting and data outputs.                                              

Who should use this Framework Lot

This Framework Lot is suitable for, but not limited to:

  • Local Authorities, Regional Transport Bodies, National Governments or Other Public Sector Bodies wishing to procure a dedicated ITSO AMS-HOPS;
  • Medium to Large Transport Operators who wish to procure a dedicated ITSO AMS-HOPS.

Smaller Operators looking to get access to an ITSO AMS-HOPS are recommended to use the SAM Managed Service.

All users of the National Procurement Framework need to be a Member of SAM. Details about becoming a Member are available here.
