This tender, classified under fibre-optic connections (CPV code 32561000), is currently in the award stage and was published on 18 December 2020. The tender period concluded on 18 January 2021, and the contract started on 16 February 2021, lasting until 17 February 2023. The value of the contract awarded is £82,253, and the work will be executed primarily in Argentina and Uruguay. This opportunity is ideal for companies specialising in telecommunications and infrastructure development, particularly those with experience in providing fibre optic services. The scale of the project, which aims to support the educational needs of approximately 80,000 children, suggests a significant potential for partnerships and sub-contracting arrangements. Businesses that can demonstrate the capability to deliver robust and reliable connectivity solutions will find themselves in a strong position to compete. ## Notice The supplier will be providing fibre optic connection to the Remote Teaching Centre in Buenos Aires to support the delivery of the Ceibal en Ingles, a remote English teaching project which utilises videoconferencing to reach 80,000 children aged 9-11 in over 550 primary schools across Uruguay.
