## Summary

The University of Birmingham is conducting a tender for Internet and Voice services for its student accommodation, aimed at enhancing the connectivity experience for over 5,183 student bedrooms. This procurement falls under the "Networks" category, with an open procedure method and a tender period closing on 3rd July 2020. The contract, expected to commence on 2nd August 2021, spans five years, including an initial three-year term and two optional one-year extensions. The location of the services required is primarily in Edgbaston, United Kingdom, ensuring that students benefit from reliable and high-speed internet access.

## Notice

The University owns and manages 5,183 student bedrooms across three student villages, and internet and voice services are a critical part of the service offering. Our students expect easy to connect to, fast and reliable internet access to enable them to succeed academically as well as for their personal and social uses. Existing provision includes a wired service to every bedroom, a shared wireless service into every cluster flat (typically but not exclusively six bedrooms and kitchen), as well as intercom/VoIP services to each flat. Student expectations increase year on year and we would like to future-proof our services for the next decade. We wish to award a contract to a provider who can offer these services for the next five years cost effectively but to a high standard. The University of Birmingham is looking to award a five-year contract with an initial period of three years followed by two individual one-year extensions at the discretion of the University of Birmingham (3+1+1 years). Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
