Superfast and Ultrafast for Cornwall

Notice Description

Cornwall Council is seeking a supplier to provide Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband infrastructure to deliver superfast (30+Mbps) and ultrafast (100+Mbps) broadband services to as many premises as possible. The project (previously referred to as 'Superfast 2') represents a new programme of up to PS14.6m investment, including funding from the European Development Fund, Broadband Delivery UK's SW Ultrafast Fund and the Council's own funding.

The Intervention Area for deployment includes 39,036 NGA white premises of which 16,610 are in scope of this procurement. Cornwall Council's priority is to ensure that the available public funding is used most effectively to provide coverage to premises currently getting relatively slow broadband speeds ( Additional information: The Procurement Documentation is freely available for unrestricted and direct access ONLY via the following portal https://www.supplyingthe southwest.org.uk/ and any additional information can also only be requested and obtained via this portal with the messaging system being used exclusively for the raising of and responding to all tender related queries and any post tender correspondence.
