Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeenshire Council is initiating the procurement process for the "Full Fibre Infrastructure Procurement Supplier Information Day," aimed at establishing a multi-supplier framework to procure Gigabit capable connectivity circuits. This process is part of the Aberdeen City Region Deal and includes collaboration with Aberdeen City Council and NHS Grampian. The project is currently in the planning stage, with a significant market engagement event scheduled for 30th October 2018, at the Aberdeenshire Council Headquarters in Aberdeen. Interested suppliers have until 24th October 2018 to register for this event to discuss the procurement approach, as outlined in the procurement notice.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for telecommunications and IT service providers, especially those specialising in connectivity solutions. The framework aims to offer two distinct service lots, addressing the long-term connectivity needs of public sector bodies in the region and facilitating ad-hoc managed circuit procurements. Suppliers capable of delivering innovative and future-proofed connectivity solutions are particularly well-suited for this framework, which is intended to enhance services significantly at key public sector sites across Aberdeenshire.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Aberdeenshire Council and Aberdeen City Council are the constituent authorities involved in the Aberdeen City Region Deal. The authorities to seek to establish a multi supplier framework to facilitate the procurement of different types of Gigabit capable connectivity circuits from the market. Other parties to the framework include NHS Grampian. Currently public sector bodies in the region consume connectivity services in one of two ways: (1) Through Scottish Wide Area Network (SWAN) who in turn source the most cost effective and available circuits from the market. (2) Through direct contracts with telecommunications service providers. The intention is for SWAN and other appointed service providers, to continue delivering managed services, but to use this framework to procure new or replacement connectivity circuits to provide them with enhanced and future-proofed connectivity at key sites. Stakeholders have different requirements and therefore this procurement will offer 2 distinct service lots as follows: One lot will allow authorities to aggregate a large number of sites and commit spend over a long term (typically 20 years) to secure the deployment and use of future proofed connectivity circuits. The other lot will allow the procurement of ad-hoc gigabit capable managed circuits as commonly procured over standard Wide Area Network (WAN) contract arrangements. Aberdeen City Region partners invite suitably capable suppliers to a market engagement event to take place on 30th October 2018 in Aberdeenshire Council Headquarters, Woodhill House, Westburn Road, Aberdeen, AB16 5GB. The partners would like to take this opportunity to present their intended approach to the market and gather feedback from suppliers in advance of the procurement going live. For clarity, this is not a call for competition. Interested suppliers are requested to register their attendance by October 24th and if a one to one session is requested email Wendy Robertson - wenrobertson@aberdeencity.gov.uk There is no additional information at this time. Confirmation emails will be sent out to all registered parties with details of the event.
