The process involves a public sector investment amounting to £14 million, sourced from the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Cornwall Council, and the European Structural and Investment Funds programme for the period of 2014 to 2020. Key dates include the contract period from 20 August 2018 to 30 April 2019, with an initial information day for interested parties scheduled for 8 July 2018. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the telecommunications and technology sectors, by inviting them to provide essential infrastructure and services related to broadband access. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the scale and nature of the investment. With an open procurement method, businesses equipped to deliver innovative and efficient solutions for network upgrades, integrated networks, and multifaceted telecommunications services will find this a fitting opportunity to expand their market reach and contribute to enhancing connectivity in the South West region of the UK. ## Notice This voluntary notice has been placed for advertising purposes only to inform the market of the opportunity to provide 30+Mbps Next Generation Access services and infrastructure in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
