The tender is currently active and has an open procurement method. Interested parties have a deadline of 31 July 2020 to submit their Formal Expression of Interest documentation as part of the tender process, which will close on 25 September 2020. The total value of the expected public sector investment is £5,350,000, with possible additional funding reaching up to £3,000,000. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in telecommunications and broadband infrastructure, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with experience in similar projects. Contractors capable of delivering 30+Mbps broadband services and those with expertise in project management and community engagement are especially well-suited to compete. Successful bidders will have the chance to contribute to enhancing digital connectivity for approximately 2,700 premises in Cornwall, including 546 businesses, aligning with the growing demand for high-speed internet access in the region. ## Notice Cornwall Council seeks suitably experienced and accredited Contractors to build, own and operate 30+Mbps superfast broadband services and infrastructure in Cornwall. The required completion date for all contracted work is the end of September 2022. Interested Parties must have submitted their Formal Expression of Interest documentation, as instructed within the ITT guidance document, as well as having signed up to the associated Code of Conduct, within 4 weeks of the date of opportunity being advertised,, i.e. 31/07/20, in order to be eligible to submit a bid. The relevant documentation and all formal communications or queries, including the submission of the aforementioned documentation, regarding this opportunity, must only be accessed or made via the supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk portal under Project Reference DN451932. Public sector investment of up to a total of 5 350 000 GBP is expected to be sourced from the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) programme for 2014 to 2020 in England and Cornwall Council. Further additional funding of up to 3,000,000 GBP, from ESIF, Central Government (e.g. DCMS, DEFRA) and Cornwall Council, could potentially become available during the lifetime of the project. An open market review to establish existing and planned (next 3 years) commercial coverage of broadband services across Cornwall by all existing, and any prospective, superfast broadband infrastructure providers, was undertaken during between August and September 2019. This has helped to identify the Intervention Area in scope for further investment, which was then subject to a further Public Consultation process, which concluded during early May 2020. Cornwall Council has also undertaken a separate market engagement exercise to obtain feedback on proposed funding models and any possible procurement lotting strategy. Cornwall Council continues to work closely with BDUK towards the successful conclusion of this process utilising approved BDUK procurement templates and evaluation processes etc. with the intention being to improve and increase connectivity to as many eligible commercial and domestic premises, as possible, within the available funding, with Superfast 3 aiming to increase access to 2700 premises, including 546 business, as a minimum requirement, by the end of September 2022. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/215b53c7-7c78-40a3-8c59-357cd6ad50bb | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Jul 2020 | | Submission deadline | 25 Sep 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2021 - 30 Sep 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £5,350,000 | | 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 | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 51 - Installation services (except software) ### Codes - 51300000 - Installation services of communications equipment ## Release History - 3 Jul 2020 at 14:34 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/215b53c7-7c78-40a3-8c59-357cd6ad50bb ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/215b53c7-7c78-40a3-8c59-357cd6ad50bb 3rd July 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
