This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a targeted commencement date of 10th September 2018 and a contract duration extending until 9th September 2026. Suppliers are encouraged to register for an upcoming Supplier Engagement Day, which is likely to take place in York in February 2018. The relevant contact for inquiries is Phill Monk, whose email is procurement@york.gov.uk. The procurement method may involve either Competitive Dialogue or Competitive Procedure with Negotiation. This tender presents a significant opportunity for technology firms, particularly those specialised in infrastructure upgrades, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, and data management services. Businesses that can deliver innovative solutions and collaborative projects with public and community organisations will find this procurement appealing. The collaboration between City of York Council and Harrogate Borough Council aims to create efficiencies and economies of scale, thus enhancing regional capacity for advanced technology deployment and service integration, which could lead to further opportunities within the Yorkshire area. ## Notice Suppliers wishing to register for the Supplier Engagement Day should send an e-mail to digitalcity@york.gov.uk . We will then be able to issue details of the session, likely to be held in York in February 2018. City of York Council and Harrogate Borough Council will require a partner to provide: (a) Upgrade existing infrastructure to gigabit and beyond capability within this financial year (b) Roll out new Infrastructure capable of gigabit (and beyond) capability; (c) Research, Development and production of new, innovative product, services or works; (d) Technology platforms capable of IOT applications; (e) collection and separation of data services; (f) Assist in the integration of city wide technology; (g) Asset and Service Management across York and Harrogate (and any other public bodies in Yorkshire who wish to join). The Partner will be expected to co create new value with city data by engaging with not only public-sector bodies but also social entrepreneur, schools, academies, citizens, community groups, universities, SME's,charities and start-ups. From a regional perspective, CYC and HBC are geographically close enough to achieve economies of scale when procuring the underlying infrastructure to drive their Smart City aspirations. Once the infrastructure is embedded, and a strategic plan engaged for delivery of services over the digital platform, it may also provide a spring board for rolling out the infrastructure and services to other agencies and interested partners in the region. CYC has already established itself as a 'Fibre City' and is providing some unified services (CCTV, UTMC,Education, Corporate, and Public Access) via the gigabit fibre infrastructure in the City. This has been possible because the City chose a joint approach to delivering connectivity for its corporate, education and UTMC networks via a single managed service delivery partner. CYC are currently "in Contract" with this managed service provider, for services that includes but are not restricted to the design, management and support of the corporate (and some partners) voice, data and wireless estate. This is supported and managed by an on-site team with back up from their engineering and consultancy teams as required. The scope of the MSA includes the fibre backbone connectivity within the City. The MSA contract is due to expire 8th of September 2018. HBC on the other hand have a number of disparate support and maintenance contracts and connectivity agreements in place with different providers and duration periods for its voice/data & CCTV connectivity layer and active network components. This procurement is likely to use either the Competitive Dialogue or Competitive Procedure with Negotiation procedures. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9853db3d-2ec3-433f-a41c-5e5c20f8fdc9 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Apr 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 9 Sep 2018 - 9 Sep 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CITY OF YORK COUNCIL | | Locality | YORK | | Post town | York | | Postcode | YO1 6GA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE21 York | | Local authority | York | | Electoral ward | Micklegate | | Westminster constituency | York Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32400000 - Networks - 32562000 - Optical-fibre cables ## Release History - 15 Dec 2017 at 12:12 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9853db3d-2ec3-433f-a41c-5e5c20f8fdc9 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9853db3d-2ec3-433f-a41c-5e5c20f8fdc9 15th December 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.york.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
