The contract, valued at £60,000 and executed through an open procedure, aims to gather telecommunications coverage data for informed decision-making. The tender period concluded on 5th July 2019, with the contract period running from 22nd July 2019 to 21st July 2021. Suppliers can bid for individual lots, including Fixed and Mobile Broadband Availability and Take Up, with the awarded contract officially announced on 8th August 2019. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications and data analysis, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer tailored solutions in broadband services. Companies with expertise in data collection, broadband infrastructure evaluation, and reporting would be well-suited to compete for contracts in this sector. The structured lot divisions allow businesses to focus their capabilities on specific areas, maximising their chances of success in securing a part of this important public procurement initiative. ## Notice The Digital Durham programme uses public funds to upgrade broadband infrastructure to provide improved broadband services across 10 local authority areas. In order to do this, detailed coverage information is required on a fairly regular basis on the provision in each locality. This requirement is more relevant now than previously as decisions as to when to carry out formal processes to determine where further public funds can be spent is more for the local authority to determine than previously. Therefore, there is a requirement to access telecommunications coverage data (intelligence) to inform decisions. This is required to postcode level for all 10 local authorities. This contract has been divided into the following Lots: * Lot 1 Fixed Broadband Availability * Lot 2 Fixed Broadband Take Up * Lot 3 Mobile Broadband Availability * Lot 4 Mobile Service Take Up * Lot 5 Progress Potential suppliers may submit a tender for one Lot, multiple Lots or all Lots. Each Lot will be evaluated and awarded separately. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/674ed6a7-56b6-4b80-91e1-cadc06f670fb | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Aug 2019 | | Submission deadline | 5 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 7 Aug 2019 | | Contract period | 8 Aug 2019 - 8 Aug 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £39,500 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DURHAM COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | DURHAM | | Post town | Durham | | Postcode | DH1 5UL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC41 Durham | | Local authority | County Durham | | Electoral ward | Neville's Cross | | Westminster constituency | City of Durham | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | POINT TOPIC | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 8 Aug 2019 at 11:48 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/674ed6a7-56b6-4b80-91e1-cadc06f670fb - 4 Jun 2019 at 16:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5435206-cdc3-4a70-ab58-ee3829b437c4 - 4 Jun 2019 at 16:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b0dd7c7-6138-4f35-828f-24a5c3173701 - 4 Jun 2019 at 15:49 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1540b029-1b92-4fee-997b-8177ef7c49aa ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/674ed6a7-56b6-4b80-91e1-cadc06f670fb 8th August 2019 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a5435206-cdc3-4a70-ab58-ee3829b437c4 4th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b0dd7c7-6138-4f35-828f-24a5c3173701 4th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/1540b029-1b92-4fee-997b-8177ef7c49aa 4th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=d737b388-e086-e911-80f7-005056b64545 Invitation to Tender Documents can be accessed via the following link ## Notice URLs - http://www.durham.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
