Summary of the contracting process

The Suffolk Coastal District Council has completed an open tender process for the "Suffolk Coastal District Council Better Broadband" initiative, which aims to enhance internet services in the East of England. This project specifically targets areas lacking access to superfast broadband, defined as internet speeds lower than 10mb/s. The contract, valued at £750,000, commenced on 1st July 2018 and will extend until 1st July 2022. The tender period closed on 18th June 2018, following an open procedure for all interested suppliers.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those in the internet service provider sector, to expand their service offerings in under-connected regions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would particularly benefit, as the procurement process is designed to encourage their participation. Successful contractors can enhance their market presence and make a meaningful impact on community broadband access, which is of increasing importance in today's digital economy.
