Closed ATM View - DIBP RFT 25/16-02
Provision of Automated Processing at Australian Ports
The Department (DIBP) is looking for Service Provider/s to provide and implement an automated processing solution to support the concept of a ‘seamless traveller’ movement through the Australian border protection process.
The three components are:
1. Solution 1 - Incoming Passenger Card (IPC) Replacement – replace the physical IPC with a solution/s that collects answers to IPC questions and passes them to DIBP systems;
2. Solution 2 - Automated Border Control (ABC) - supply, implement and maintain a replacement Australian Border Control solution that will eliminate the need for physical tickets and have the ability to process travellers using ‘contactless’ technology, removing the need for some travellers to present their passport; and
3. Solution 3 - Exit Marshal Point (EMP) - remove the need for a manual triage process at the Exit Marshal Point and integrate with DIBP systems to remove reliance on the IPC card or tickets being used as a message stick.
RFT 25/16 – Stage 1 for Solution 2 was issued in December 2016. This RFT (25/16 - Stage 2) covers Solution 1 and Solution 3.
The Solution 1 and Solution 3 Services include the provision of infrastructure (Hardware and Software), installation into the DIBP lab environment in Canberra, rollout to international airports and seaports within Australia, and ongoing maintenance and support services.
Successful Tenderer/s will enter into subcontract arrangements with the Prime Contractor for Solution 2 (Automated Border Control) or directly with DIBP at the sole and absolute discretion of DIBP
