Summary of the contracting process

Essex County Council is conducting an open procurement process for the "Superfast Essex Phase 4b (Phase 4 Tranche 2)" project, which is focused on telecommunications services in the East of England. The tender period closes on 23rd November 2018, and submitters must ensure their applications are in by noon on that date. This project, which falls under the main procurement category of services, is aimed at ensuring more than 99% of fixed addresses in Essex have access to superfast broadband by December 2021. The estimated value of this contract is between £5,339,800 and £13,339,800 and is subdivided into three lots, covering East Essex, West Essex, and Thurrock.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) looking to expand in the telecommunications sector. Given the scale of the project and the emphasis on local partnerships, businesses with expertise in broadband delivery, network infrastructure, and telecommunications services are well-suited to compete for this contract. Successful participation in this project could not only provide immediate financial benefits but also enhance a firm's reputation and capacity to take on future projects within the growing broadband market in the UK.

The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs).

Superfast Essex is part of the UK national broadband initiative overseen by DCMS. ECC has successfully completed its Phase 1 rollout and is currently implementing Phases2 and 3.

This procurement is split into 3 lots comprising East Essex, West Essex, and Thurrock. The estimated total value of Phase 4b across all three lots is between 5 339 800 GBP and 13 339 800 GBP.
