Notice Description
Site Cabling Services
Lot Information
Lot 1
Following a negotiated procurement process the Site Cabling Services contract has been awarded to Openreach Limited. The stated contract value of PS7,987,015 is inclusive of the initial five year term and optional one year extension. The required service is solely in relation to the existing inground ducting, copper telephone wires and fibre cabling (the Cabling Infrastructure) that runs through the nuclear site located in West Cumbria. This Cabling Infrastructure forms part of the national telecommunications network which is owned by British Telecommunications PLC and managed and operated by Openreach Limited. A direct contract with Openreach Limited for Site Cabling Services will ensure that the existing Cabling Infrastructure is proactively managed, maintained and re-purposed as appropriate to support delivery of an effective network service. The network service will be provided by a separate network service provider under a separate contract. Given the size of the nuclear site, which covers six sq. kilometres, effective pro-active management of the far-reaching Cabling Infrastructure, to free up capacity within the ducts as an example, will readily allow the installation of new copper telephone wires and network fibre cabling in the future, without the need for civil engineering works. Simplistically the Site Cabling Services contract will provide the cables to the buildings at the nuclear site, which the network service provider will then use to connect and create a full end to end network service across all sites. In developing the requirements care has been taken to ensure that only services relating to Cabling Infrastructure have been included and the contract specifically excludes any network service that could be provided directly by a network services provider.
