Notice Information

Notice Title

Superfast Berkshire - Phase 3

Notice Description

Superfast Berkshire's broadband programme (led by West Berkshire District Council) is working to extend coverage of superfast broadband at speeds greater than 24 Mbps across Berkshire, in areas beyond the reach of commercially-funded deployments which are unlikely to be covered without public intervention. This procurement requires a wholesale broadband network solution providing wholesale broadband services at speeds above 30Mbps that retail service providers can use to provide business consumers, residential consumers, and public sector organisations with a range of broadband services for the term. The proposed solution must comply with the BDUK Technology Guidance and must deliver the requirements detailed in the specification.
