Notice Information

Notice Title

BP1026 - Digital Connectivity Research Project (in Nottinghamshire)

Notice Description

The Council requires an organisation to conduct speed and connectivity analyses in the north of the Borough for both mobile and broadband coverage. The research is to identify broadband and mobile signal/data speeds in the northern towns/villages in Broxtowe (Nottinghamshire) to give an overview of the situation in these areas. This research will be required to focus on mobile signal and data in the town of Kimberley, where there are significant issues with mobile signal reported from residents. This part of the research must identify signal speeds, where any 'cold spots' of coverage are, and provide recommendations with cost estimates included to address these problems. A particular focus of this study is to research the impact that connectivity issues may be having on the competitiveness and functions of local businesses and community groups in Kimberley. It will be necessary to include this as a key research question with comprehensive advice on solutions. Timescale The report must be completed by the end of the 2022/23 financial year (31 March 2023). It is expected that this work is conducted in an 8 - 10-week period. The expected contract award date is the 19th January 2023.
