## Summary

The Northamptonshire County Council is seeking telecom providers for the "Superfast Northamptonshire Stage 3" project aimed at extending Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband across the county, particularly to the remaining 6% of premises lacking commercial coverage. This procurement process, classified under telecommunications services within the CPV category, is currently in the Award stage, with the contract valuing approximately £9,967,000. The contract period is set to commence on 16 January 2017 and will last until 31 March 2026, following the Open procedure method. Interested bidders should note that the tender period closed on 24 November 2016.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the telecommunications sector, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) experienced in broadband infrastructure and network deployment. Companies capable of delivering NGA services with a minimum speed of 30Mbps will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging in this procurement not only allows businesses to participate in enhancing the region's digital connectivity but also encourage growth through long-term contracts aligned with public sector demand.

## Notice

The Superfast Northamptonshire project is aiming to extend the availability of Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband across the county of Northamptonshire. To this end, Northamptonshire County Council has previously invested public funds through two contracts (Stage 1 and Stage 2), to extend the availability of NGA infrastructure in areas where no commercial plans were available from market players as verified through State Aid Public Consultations. When combined with existing and planned commercial coverage, over 94% of premises expect to access NGA by the end of 2017 Stage 3 is aiming to secure a telecom provider(s) to deploy NGA networks (supporting access line speeds of at least 30Mbps) into the final 6% of the county for the funding envelope that is available. Further information regarding the tender is available in Data Room 1. The procurement will follow on Open procedure and with the contract(s) expected to be awarded in January 2017. Contract period is expected to be up to 27 months (end of March 2019) plus 7 year contract term in compliance with State Aid regulations.
