The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with an estimated contract value of £2,000,000. Key dates include the Supplier Engagement Event scheduled on 5th April 2022 at 10:30 am, held via MS Teams, followed by a Further Competition expected to be issued in May 2022. The project falls under the construction sector, specifically focused on communication lines within the United Kingdom. This procurement opportunity presents considerable growth potential for companies specialising in infrastructure services, particularly those involved in telecommunications and construction sectors. Businesses that align with the CCS Gigabit Capable Connectivity Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) will benefit from this initiative, as attendance at the engagement event is strongly recommended for gaining insights into the procurement process and to clarify any queries. Companies not currently part of the DPS are encouraged to apply for membership ahead of the competition, ensuring they remain competitive in providing high-speed broadband solutions. ## Notice The purpose of this advert is to invite interested Suppliers to an Engagement Event in respect of this future opportunity. The Requirement LCC (Leicestershire County Council) are collaborating with BDUK on this project to meet the government ambition of delivering Gigabit capabilities across the UK by 2030. The vision for Leicestershire is to a fully digital county by 2030 and to deliver lightning-fast, reliable gigabit-capable broadband to everyone, being the first county to deliver 100% connectivity coverage which will support economic growth, develop and maintain existing businesses as well as attracting new and provide a digital skills base to support the whole of the Leicestershire economy to prosper and thrive. Procurement Process LCC anticipates to procure the above services via CCS Gigabit Capable Connectivity DPS (RM6095). A Further Competition is intended to be issued in May 2022 under Service Type 2: Infrastructure Services. Any Suppliers interested in this opportunity, who are not party to the DPS, are advised to apply to join the DPS prior to the anticipated Further Competition date (This DPS is managed by Crown Commercial Service. Minimum requirements and timescales as outlined therein will apply). For avoidance of doubt, only eligible Suppliers who are part of the DPS under the relevant service type at the time of issue will be invited to bid. Estimated Value of this contract is around PS2,000,000.00 depending on final list of sites in scope and subject to BDUK funding. This is an indicative figure only.
