The tender, classified under telecommunications services, has a total value of £6,700,000 and is currently in the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 22nd July 2020. Following the contract's anticipated start on 3rd August 2020, the provider will ensure that the remaining areas lacking NGA coverage are served, ultimately contributing to the goal of reaching 97% broadband availability across the county. This tender presents significant opportunities for telecom and broadband service providers to engage in a large-scale government initiative, particularly those capable of meeting the minimum download speed of 30Mbps. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, making this a notable opportunity for innovative telecom firms that specialise in broadband infrastructure deployment. Participation could not only lead to substantial contracts but also enhance SMEs' visibility and reputation in a competitive market. ## Notice The Superfast Leicestershire project is working to extend the availability of Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband across the county of Leicestershire. To this end, Leicestershire County Council has previously invested public funds through three contracts (Phase 1, and Phase 2 and 3), to extend the availability of NGA infrastructure in areas where no commercial plans were available from market players as verified through State Aid Public Consultations to almost 97 % of premises in the county. The County Council intends to run a new procurement to secure a telecom provider(s) to deploy Next Generation Access solutions - those capable of achieving a minimum of 30Mbps download speed - for the remaining areas in scope for NGA deployment. Interested suppliers are requested to submit the Expression of Interest and Code of Conduct documents by 28th May 2020. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c4e51498-91c1-4543-9cb9-7e5a8fade88e | | 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 | 14 May 2020 | | Submission deadline | 22 Jul 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 13 Nov 2020 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,700,000 | | 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 | LEICESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | LEICESTER | | Post town | Leicester | | Postcode | LE3 8RA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF2 Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire | | ITL 3 | TLF22 Leicestershire CC and Rutland | | Local authority | Blaby | | Electoral ward | Glenfield Faire | | Westminster constituency | Mid Leicestershire | | Delivery location | TLF East Midlands (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services ### Codes - 64200000 - Telecommunications services ## Release History - 14 May 2020 at 08:23 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c4e51498-91c1-4543-9cb9-7e5a8fade88e - 28 Apr 2020 at 11:47 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/167e7fe2-788f-4d38-a6f1-f5d2da2aa363 - 28 Apr 2020 at 08:27 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/57344a5f-4489-4fdc-9c6b-3c6aaf0a0230 - 28 Apr 2020 at 08:24 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33ca1293-65ed-4d20-945e-44cb121e7674 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c4e51498-91c1-4543-9cb9-7e5a8fade88e 14th May 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/167e7fe2-788f-4d38-a6f1-f5d2da2aa363 28th April 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/57344a5f-4489-4fdc-9c6b-3c6aaf0a0230 28th April 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/33ca1293-65ed-4d20-945e-44cb121e7674 28th April 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=dd3a3a18-3568-ea11-80ff-005056b64545&p=527b4bbd-5c58-e511-80ef-000c29c9ba21 Link to opportunity ## Notice URLs - https://www.eastmidstenders.org/index.html ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
