The procurement, classified under telecommunications services, will follow an Open procedure, with the tender period ending on 1st February 2019 and contract awards anticipated in May 2019. The total value of the project is approximately £11.7 million, and successful contracts will commence in June 2019, aiming for completion by August 2029. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in telecommunications, particularly those capable of delivering NGA solutions with a minimum download speed of 30 Mbps. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that possess the technical expertise and resources to deploy broadband infrastructure will find this project particularly suited to their capabilities. Engaging with this tender could lead to long-term contracts and a chance to contribute to enhanced broadband access in underserved areas, effectively driving business growth in the region. ## 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 two contracts (Phase 1 and Phase 2), 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. Further information regarding the tender is available in the Data Room. The procurement will follow an Open procedure and with the contract(s) expected to be awarded in May 2019.
