Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Buckinghamshire Council is currently engaged in the award process for the "Buckinghamshire Rural Business Broadband Project," a procurement aimed at enhancing broadband infrastructure for rural businesses in Buckinghamshire, specifically targeting areas lacking next-generation access. The total value of the awarded contract is £1,767,716 and is classified under telecommunications services. The contract was initiated on 22nd June 2020, with a requirement for completion of the deployment by 31st December 2021, followed by a seven-year delivery of wholesale services. Additional funding may be allocated during the contract duration, potentially increasing the overall value to approximately £2.3 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) involved in telecommunications and broadband services. Companies that excel in providing infrastructure and digital connectivity solutions are well-suited to compete for this project, given the increasing demand for reliable internet access in rural regions. This initiative not only represents a substantial financial contract but also aligns with the broader goal of bridging the digital divide for rural businesses in the UK.
