Summary of the contracting process

The Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited (DMSL) is currently managing a tender titled "Off-Grid Power Services Framework" aimed at providing remote power services for mobile telecoms base stations that cannot connect to the electrical grid. This procurement falls under the services category and is governed by an open procedure, where suppliers will be selected to form a framework to support the mobile network operators including EE, Telefonica, Three, and Vodafone. The tender submission period is active and will close on 9th September 2022, with a bid validity period of 360 days. Contracts awarded will be subsidised by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium enterprises that provide off-grid power solutions, such as generators and renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Businesses capable of delivering installation, maintenance, and project management services for off-grid power systems will be well-positioned to compete. The framework allows for a maximum of four suppliers, and while the contracts do not guarantee minimum volumes, participants will have the advantage of collaborating with major telecom companies and potentially expanding their service offerings in the growing sector of mobile telecommunications infrastructure.
