One success criterion is successful enrollment of dedicated Android devices into the Intune management environment, so the exact enrollment assistance model should be confirmed with IT Partner if hands-on bulk enrollment is required.

Is this service only for new Intune Android setups, or can it improve an existing setup?

The service is described as an initial setup for organizations that want to start managing Android devices with Microsoft Intune.
