Summary of the contracting process

The Leicestershire County Council is initiating a procurement process for "Supplier Engagement Event for Infrastructure Build Services" to enhance gigabit broadband capabilities throughout Leicestershire, aimed at achieving full digital connectivity by 2030. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an estimated contract value of £2,000,000. Key dates include the Supplier Engagement Event scheduled on 5th April 2022 at 10:30 am, held via MS Teams, followed by a Further Competition expected to be issued in May 2022. The project falls under the construction sector, specifically focused on communication lines within the United Kingdom.

This procurement opportunity presents considerable growth potential for companies specialising in infrastructure services, particularly those involved in telecommunications and construction sectors. Businesses that align with the CCS Gigabit Capable Connectivity Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will benefit from this initiative, as attendance at the engagement event is strongly recommended for gaining insights into the procurement process and to clarify any queries. Companies not currently part of the DPS are encouraged to apply for membership ahead of the competition, ensuring they remain competitive in providing high-speed broadband solutions.
