Calls into such solution are routed via a 0300 platform into two concurrent SIP provisions (with calls apportioned on a managed "Active/Active" allocation basis), before passing into the solution for a CX agent to manage the call. The current SIP operating model also allows for the routing of inbound calls to remote-working CX agents (typically receiving calls via mobile), routing through the Netcall CX solution on an "inbound to outbound" basis to the remote worker. Whilst the vast majority of calls routed through the SIP provisions are inbound, THA also utilises the facility for outbound calls, as may be required by staff in the performance of their duties and with all such outbound calls routed through the SIP (as defined above) via the Netcall solution. THA has further identified a requirement to improve its posture in relation to Payment compliance, and is seeking to attain and maintain "PCI DSS - SAQ A" Compliance across all inbound and outbound calls (where such compliance is relevant within the context of such call). To keep with this operating model, THA is conducting two concurrent, "lot"-based procurements for the Provision of SIP, the procurement model for which being further defined in section 1.4 of this document.
