Notice Title

GB-London: 101928 - Peer Review of Digital Infrastructure Model

Notice Description

As part of the Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review we developed an LSOA (Lower Layer Super Output Area) level model to estimate the coverage and costs of gigabit-capable connectivity. We are seeking a peer review to examine whether our modelling approach and cost estimates are fit for purpose. The peer review should be written up in a report. The report should include the following: -Highlighting the strengths of the modelling approach and questions for which the model seems well suited to answering -Highlighting any issues with the current methodology and questions for which the modelling seems less well suited to answering -Recommending any improvements to the methodology and input assumptions. - Where alternative input assumptions are suggested a source should also be provided - Ideally we should be able to quote the assumptions in non-confidential documents -A comparison of the outputs of this model with work that you have previously done or have access to. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
