Overview

1. Introduction and background
This Request for Information (RFI) is issued for Auckland Transport (AT). The aim of this process is to seek and obtain information from organisations about the potential options for a single, consolidated Auckland Transport branded / white labelled platform for running multiple competitions and challenges across different timeframes (eg weeks vs months) and geographic scales (eg all of Auckland vs individual business).
The RFI Information Contact Person set out in Schedule of RFI Conditions will be assisting with the administration of this RFI.
