## Summary

The procurement process involves Sheffield City Council seeking bids for the "Superfast South Yorkshire Broadband Contract for the Provision of Deployed Services, Phase 2." This initiative aims to extend broadband coverage over 30Mbps in South Yorkshire, addressing areas lacking commercially viable access. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 9th March 2018. The contract period will commence on 1st April 2018 and last until 31st March 2028. The total estimated value of the contract is £6 million, with the primary industry category being telecommunications, specifically related to the installation and maintenance of broadband networks.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the telecommunications sector, particularly those specialising in broadband services, installation, and maintenance. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as substantial investment in the required infrastructure will be needed. The selected bidder will not only manage the deployment but also leverage public support through the gap funding principle, enabling further potential for growth and job creation within the local economy.

## Notice

Superfast South Yorkshire (SFSY) is working to extend coverage of superfast broadband (greater than 30Mbs) across South Yorkshire, to areas beyond the reach of commercially-funded deployments. SFSY Partners Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Councils and Sheffield City Council wish to improve access to broadband services in areas which will not be covered without public intervention. SFSY's key aims are to deliver business growth and new jobs, deliver a range of social benefits across its rural and urban communities and support delivery of public services through digital channels. This procurement requires a wholesale broadband network solution providing wholesale broadband services 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 ITT is issued under a gap funding principle. This means that the public sector subsidy is only available to fund the investment gap between the Bidder's infrastructure deployment cost were this to be a commercially viable area and the Bidder's estimate of the actual cost of this deployment in order to make it commercially viable. Therefore, the Bidder is expected to provide substantial investment into the broadband network and the Bidder must declare the investment that the Bidder itself is prepared to make before the subsidy is applied. The resulting infrastructure built as a result of the Bidder investment plus the subsidy, is owned and operated by the successful Bidder. The Bidder will manage the risks associated with developing and operating the broadband network on a wholesale basis, including take-up risks. A detailed breakdown of intervention area premises is available within the Speed and Coverage Template in the Data Room, alongside other project data and information. The Data Room will be accessible to Bidders upon receipt of a completed Non Disclosure Agreement available via the tender documentation pack on the yortender portal.
