## Summary

Warwickshire County Council has initiated an open procurement process for the "Local Full Fibre Network (LFFN) Works Project" to enhance infrastructure across Warwickshire and Solihull. This procurement, valued at approximately £5,700,000, is aimed at improving the existing Wide Area Network capabilities through the implementation of full fibre optic connections. Key deadlines include the tender period ending on 22nd March 2019, with the contract set to commence on 1st May 2019 and concluding on 30th April 2021. The project specifically falls within the telecommunications equipment and supplies sector.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies engaged in telecommunications infrastructure and network solutions. Businesses that specialise in fibre optic technologies or have experience working on public sector projects would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. As Warwickshire County Council collaborates with the Broadband Development UK (BDUK) programme to deliver these improvements, firms with knowledge of relevant compliance and service delivery in public contracts would also stand to benefit.

## Notice

Warwickshire County Council, acting as lead authority on a Local Full Fibre Network Project, commenced an Open procurement procedure to procure new infrastructure across Warwickshire and Solihull. The objective was to improve both the value and flexibility of current Wide Area Network arrangements through the procurement of new infrastructure across the CSW region. This infrastructure will consist of full fibre optic connections (1Gb capable) from and to key locations across the CSW region via Public Sector Building Upgrades (PSBU) that can then be made available to both organisations and their delivery partners as a service when it is required. In completing this task, the Lead Authority is working with the Broadband Development UK (BDUK) programme within the Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS) and this procurement is wholly funded by DCMS.
