Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council has undertaken a comprehensive public procurement process to award a contract for the "Growing Mid Wales - Business Parks Fibre To The Premises Project." With the contract already in the award stage, the Council aims to enhance internet connectivity through Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) services across business park properties in Ceredigion and Powys. Key dates include the award announcement on 16th December 2025, with BT PLC named as the awarded supplier. The contract is scheduled to commence on 26th January 2026 and will span until 26th February 2028. This open procurement procedure focuses on the telecommunications and IT services industry, signifying the Council's commitment to improving digital infrastructure within the UKL14 region in Mid Wales.

This project represents a significant growth opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in telecommunications and IT services. By establishing robust and reliable fibre-optic connections, companies can enhance their competitive edge and offer high-speed internet services designed to attract tenants with technology-driven operations. Large organisations with expertise in optical fibre and telecommunications services, like BT PLC, are well-positioned to execute such large-scale infrastructural projects. The inception of FTTP across the identified business parks promises to boost local economies by providing businesses with essential digital resources needed to thrive in today's market landscape.

Notice Title

Award of Growing Mid Wales - Business Parks Fibre To The Premises Project

Notice Description

Ceredigion County Council is awarding to a qualified and experienced consultant/contractor or organisation with significant previous experience and knowledge of the industry to support and install Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) services to identified business park properties across Ceredigion and Powys Local Authority areas. The Project's main aim is to ensure that all Mid Wales business parks benefit from fibre to the premises (FTTP) provision. Market engagement has identified 13 business parks with 174 commercial properties across Ceredigion and Powys. The delivery plans of commercial fibre network developers and public-sector funded programmes to deliver FTTP do not include the 13 business parks or may only reach them in several years' time. Completing FTTP connectivity will allow businesses to benefit from fast and reliable high-speed internet connectivity and ensure all business parks across the Mid Wales Growth Deal area provide strong and competitive internet connectivity as part of their offer to businesses. The authority has entered PS1 in the value section of this notice to ensure best value is achieved through the competition.
