## Summary

The procurement process for "Measuring Residential Fixed-Line Broadband Performance in the UK" was conducted by OFCOM, aimed at providing insights into the performance of UK residential fixed broadband connections. This project, classified under technical testing, analysis and consultancy services, took place in London. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 17 November 2021. The awarded contract, which has a total value of £375,000, commenced on 21 December 2021 and is set to run until 30 April 2027, with the possibility of extension for up to three additional years.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to expand their business in the technical consultancy sector. Companies that specialise in broadband performance analysis, whether through innovative software solutions or hybrid methodologies, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with OFCOM on this project may enhance visibility and collaboration within the telecommunications industry, ultimately fostering growth and development in the sector.

## Notice

Ofcom has collected and published information regarding the performance of UK fixed broadband connections since 2008. We have previously used a hardware-based solution to do this, but we welcome suggestions for alternative approaches and are open to using other methodologies, including software-based solutions and those using a mixture of hardware and software. Any contract(s) awarded following the conclusion of the tender process will be for an initial duration of two years. At Ofcom's absolute discretion, the contract may be extended for up to three further periods of up to twelve months each
