This tender falls under the planning stage and seeks engagement for future telecommunication and media service developments in the Falkland Islands. Key industry categories include "Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment," with a focus on potential classifications such as "Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment," and "Postal and telecommunications services." The delivery address is situated in London, SW1H 0BH, England, with the final date for market engagement set for 3 October 2025.

It is particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that can provide innovative solutions and demonstrate capacity to meet the Falkland Islands Government's objectives. Engaging early in this planning stage allows businesses to influence the tendering and licensing processes, ensuring alignment with their capabilities and aspirations in the telecommunications sector. ## Notice Through this Preliminary Market Engagement ("PME"), the Falkland Islands Government ("FIG") seeks information and feedback from potentially interested parties (from herein referred to as a "Participant"), in preparation for a potential Tender (or licensing) process to design and carry out operations and future development of telecommunication and media services on the Falkland Islands. The purpose of this PME is to: (a) Gain initial awareness, engagement, and opinion from suppliers. (b) Help provide a better understanding of the feasibility of the requirement to meet each objective. (c) Illustrate the future FIG view of the telecommunications market in the Falklands. (d) Understand the market's capacity to deliver within the desired timeframes and identify any potential risks associated with it. (e) Provide the market with an opportunity to ask questions, raise queries, and address any issues at an early stage. (f) Prevent FIG from advertising unachievable future projects on any electronic notification service or platform. Interested parties should register on FIG's e-procurement platform Proactis Pro-Contract and submit their interest. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d91088c1-76ef-4fc9-b4a0-b7136acc916b | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 19 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 3 Oct 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FALKLANDS ISLANDS GOVERNMENT OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0BH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 35 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services ### Codes - 32000000 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 35000000 - Security, fire-fighting, police and defence equipment - 64000000 - Postal and telecommunications services ## Release History - 19 Aug 2025 at 10:18 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d91088c1-76ef-4fc9-b4a0-b7136acc916b - 28 Jul 2025 at 15:06 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d91088c1-76ef-4fc9-b4a0-b7136acc916b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d91088c1-76ef-4fc9-b4a0-b7136acc916b 19th August 2025 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/63ea6709-6f11-4f7a-a5b6-b6ffc1f328f5 FIG Proactis Registration - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c30e50a4-300b-4a0b-907a-994993082d09 Finding Tender Opportunity - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f4b0d4e5-4d2a-4dc1-b4bd-c81c2d5151a5 Responding to Tender Opportunity - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/84b75574-8ba2-4a47-acce-8be8e7dc627e Setting up Users and Workgroups ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
