## Summary

Newcastle University is seeking to establish a framework agreement for a measured term contract focused on telecoms and data works, which will encompass various installations, refurbishments, maintenance, and improvements on its premises across the North East of England. The tender, titled "(NU/1411) Telecoms and Data Works Measured Term Contract," is currently in the Tender stage, with a submission deadline of 7th November 2018. The anticipated contract value is between £4 million and £5 million, and it will span from 5th February 2019 until 3rd February 2023.

Additionally, firms capable of fulfilling bespoke works as specified in provided scopes of work will be well-suited to compete, leveraging their expertise within the higher education sector's infrastructure projects.
