Lot Information
Lot 1
DMSL is managing a tender, on behalf of the Contracting Organisations, to appoint suppliers on a Transmission framework, to provide a transmission solution to SRN TNS sites. The purpose of this procurement is to appoint a supplier who is able to deliver all of the transmission services and any supporting infrastructure to new total not-spot (TNS) sites and or upgrades to existing MNO/3rd party sites to support the delivery of the Shared Rural Network TNS programme. This is expected to be primarily a fibre led solution and by exception, at the Contracting Organisation's discretion, a hybrid fibre/microwave, or satellite as a last resort (low earth orbit satellite). The TNS sites will be delivered either through an Acquisition, Design and Build (ADB) supplier or a managed solution (MS) supplier on behalf of the Contracting Organisation. Where no existing IPVPN interconnect exists with the Contracting Organisation, the supplier will be responsible for liaising with the Contracting Organisation for successful testing of the supplier solution on their test beds, building and providing interconnects with the Contracting Organisation's core network to deliver the IPVPN services required. The Supplier will bear all costs (including internal resource, technical support and management costs) incurred by the Contracting Organisation to successfully test and implement the IPVPN managed services. Full details are in the procurement documentation. It is expected that the supplier will provide any project management to carry out this role and liaise with other project participants in achieving a successful delivery of a transmission solution at each site location.
Options: Option to extend the Transmission Services framework for 1 extra period of 24 months
