## Summary

The Buckinghamshire Rural Business Broadband Project, initiated by Buckinghamshire County Council, aims to select a single supplier to provide essential broadband infrastructure for rural businesses in Buckinghamshire that lack Next Generation Access (NGA) services with download speeds exceeding 30Mbps. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a closing date for submissions set for 4th November 2019. The total contract value is approximately £2,069,387, and the project is classified under the services category, specifically in communication and telecommunication equipment. The deployment is scheduled for completion by 31st December 2021, with ongoing wholesale services required for an additional seven years thereafter.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in telecommunications and broadband services, particularly those capable of delivering rural infrastructure solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are actively encouraged to participate, making this a prime opportunity for innovators and service providers that can efficiently deploy broadband technologies in underserved areas. Given the potential for additional funding during the contract period, businesses may also benefit from increased contract value, enhancing the appeal of this opportunity for competitive and capable contractors.

Further Information regarding the Scope and the evaluation process can be found within the procurement documentation. Deployment must complete by 31st December 2021- there is a requirement for the delivery of Wholesale Services for 7 years post completion of the deployment date
