This procurement, classified under the telecommunications network category, is at the tender stage and has a deadline for submissions set for 10 March 2017. The successful bidder will need to offer a wholesale broadband network solution that provides services at speeds exceeding 30 Mbps, with a contract period commencing on 25 July 2017 and concluding on 24 July 2026. The estimated budget for this contract is £1,650,000, and it follows a selective procurement method using a negotiated procedure. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications and broadband services, particularly those with experience in delivering wholesale solutions. Companies that are well-positioned to compete include those providing high-speed broadband infrastructure, as well as those capable of ensuring compliance with BDUK Technology Guidance. Given the aim of the initiative to improve connectivity for residential and public sector consumers, this tender opens doors for providers to expand their services and reach new clientele within the growing telecommunications sector. ## Notice Superfast Berkshire's broadband programme (led by West Berkshire District Council) is working to extend coverage of superfast broadband at speeds greater than 24 Mbps across Berkshire, in areas beyond the reach of commercially-funded deployments which are unlikely to be covered without public intervention. This procurement requires a wholesale broadband network solution providing wholesale broadband services at speeds above 30Mbps that retail service providers can use to provide business consumers, residential consumers, and public sector organisations with a range of broadband services for the term. The proposed solution must comply with the BDUK Technology Guidance and must deliver the requirements detailed in the specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9705322b-e8e8-4ced-b9ad-c8bbded07a80 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Negotiated procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 10 Feb 2017 | | Submission deadline | 10 Mar 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 24 Jul 2017 - 24 Jul 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,650,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | WEST BERKSHIRE DISTRICT COUNCIL | | Locality | NEWBURY | | Post town | Reading | | Postcode | RG14 5LD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ16 Berkshire West | | Local authority | West Berkshire | | Electoral ward | Newbury Central | | Westminster constituency | Newbury | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32412100 - Telecommunications network ## Release History - 10 Feb 2017 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9705322b-e8e8-4ced-b9ad-c8bbded07a80 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9705322b-e8e8-4ced-b9ad-c8bbded07a80 10th February 2017 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - http://www.mytenders.org/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB138530 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.westberks.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
