Summary of the contracting process

The "Growing Mid Wales - Business Parks Fibre To The Premises Project" is a significant procurement initiative by the Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council aimed at enhancing internet connectivity across Ceredigion and Powys Local Authority areas. The project seeks to provide Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) services to various business park properties, totalling 174 commercial sites in 13 business parks, ensuring reliable high-speed internet access. The procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, reaching the award stage as of April 2026, with BT PLC selected as the supplier. The procurement is rooted in an open method with milestones completed from planning to award stages, and the contract runs from 1st April 2026 through to 26th February 2028. This initiative falls under the services industry category and was carried out under the Welsh devolved regulations, with a gross contract value of £1,008,298.

This tender provides robust opportunities for businesses engaged in fibre-optic and IT services, particularly those with expertise in telecommunications, consulting, software development, and internet support. Large enterprises such as BT PLC, already equipped with industry experience, have been successful in securing the project. Still, the project framework displays a conducive environment for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) due to its allowance for broad market engagement. Companies aiming to expand their portfolio in such high-growth sectors could immensely benefit from participating in similar tenders given the prospective extensions in contract duration and the evolving demand for comprehensive internet connectivity solutions across business parks in Wales.
