3) Data and functionality offered as separate modular (loosely coupled) services to be integrated in proprietary systems and apps for the joined parties GVB holding NV, HTM Personenvervoer NV, NS reizigers BV and RET NV. The joined parties want to set up an open, central MaaS platform and eco-system where mobility providers (demand) and MaaS providers (supply) connect and offer MaaS in the Netherlands.
1) Deliver, run, further develop, improve, expand and maintain (mostly off-the-shelf and integrated) MaaS facilities consisting of at least:
(c) data and functionality offered as separate modular (loosely coupled) services to be integrated in proprietary systems and apps.
2) Deliver a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) (see 2.3.3 for what is required) of the integrated MaaS facilities in approximately 4 to 6 months after contract reward;
3) Design and realize API’s for connecting loosely coupled functional modules for a wide range of mobility provider types on at least a data, technical and functional level;
4) Realize further development of the above mentioned MaaS facilities for or with the joined parties and adapting to emerging Dutch data and connectivity standards;
— the joined parties need an open MaaS platform connecting a large variety of mobility providers and MaaS providers. Therefore the joined parties want to obtain an exclusive right to use and commercially exploit the MaaS platform as it will be developed and delivered to the joined parties under this contract in the Netherlands. This means for example that the joined parties will instruct the contractual partner when to connect other MaaS providers and/or mobility providers. The contractual partner will support the joined parties in the realization and servicing of these connections in the way as described under bullet 5 above,
— given the fact that joined parties qualify as MaaS providers themselves, joined parties want to be connected to the MaaS platform and make use of the same services as other MaaS providers. The joined parties seek for a software as a service (SAAS) concept to which they all will be granted a license to use this platform and obtain the right for any further developments including support.
— the joined parties explicitly seek for a party who is willing and able to give the joined parties either direct influence on the roadmap for the further development of the MaaS facilities or have a roadmap which aligns with the vision of the joined parties,
— also the joined parties are considering the possibility to obtain the Intellectual property rights to (parts of) the MaaS facilities so they can further develop the MaaS facilities if the contracted party no longer wishes to do so or is being (partly) sold or taken over or stops his activities on the MaaS facilities. If the joined parties are not able to obtain the IP, an Escrow agreement will be part of the contract to guarantee continuity,
— the data obtained and processed in the MaaS platform, apps or API’s will exclusively belong to the joined parties or – where applicable – to the mobility providers or MaaS providers,
— the price model for this contract will be shared with the selected candidates in the next phase of the tender. However the joined parties do not seek a MaaS platform which is revenue based. Other possibilities are open like transaction based or consisting of a basic fee and a variable part with a maximum amount.
The joined parties will have one sided options for extension periods of (maximum) 5 years. After this period the joined parties will have the one-sided option of extension concerning the use of the MaaS platform and related facilities, as long as this MaaS platform and related facilities are in use.
Further development of the MaaS facilities initiated either by the joined parties or by the vendor (contractor) which contains everything related to the MaaS platform, white-label app, modular services or 3rd party integrations that lead to an enhanced customer experience can be brought in-scope and/or to lead to a revision in the contract. Below a selected set of possible revisions/additions. The selection guideline contains a non-exclusive list of examples.
