Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is seeking a telecom provider for its Superfast Leicestershire Phase 4 project, aimed at expanding Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband across the East Midlands in the UK. The tender, classified under telecommunications services, has a total value of £6,700,000 and is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 22nd July 2020. Following the contract's anticipated start on 3rd August 2020, the provider will ensure that the remaining areas lacking NGA coverage are served, ultimately contributing to the goal of reaching 97% broadband availability across the county.

This tender presents significant opportunities for telecom and broadband service providers to engage in a large-scale government initiative, particularly those capable of meeting the minimum download speed of 30Mbps. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, making this a notable opportunity for innovative telecom firms that specialise in broadband infrastructure deployment. Participation could not only lead to substantial contracts but also enhance SMEs' visibility and reputation in a competitive market.

Notice Title

Leicestershire County Council - Superfast Leicestershire Phase 4

Notice Description

The Superfast Leicestershire project is working to extend the availability of Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband across the county of Leicestershire. To this end, Leicestershire County Council has previously invested public funds through three contracts (Phase 1, and Phase 2 and 3), to extend the availability of NGA infrastructure in areas where no commercial plans were available from market players as verified through State Aid Public Consultations to almost 97 % of premises in the county. The County Council intends to run a new procurement to secure a telecom provider(s) to deploy Next Generation Access solutions - those capable of achieving a minimum of 30Mbps download speed - for the remaining areas in scope for NGA deployment. Interested suppliers are requested to submit the Expression of Interest and Code of Conduct documents by 28th May 2020.
