## Summary

West Berkshire District Council is conducting the Superfast Berkshire - Phase 3 procurement process to enhance broadband coverage across the South East of England. This project aims to provide wholesale broadband network solutions capable of delivering speeds above 30 Mbps, serving public sector organisations, businesses, and residential consumers. The procurement is currently in the award stage, having awarded a total value of £2,563,000 to suppliers BT Group and Gigaclear plc on 25th July 2017. The contract period is set from 25th July 2017 until 24th July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in telecommunications and broadband service provision, particularly firms specialising in network solutions and infrastructure development. Companies positioned to deliver high-speed broadband services, especially those that can comply with the BDUK Technology Guidance, will be well-suited to compete in this space. Engaging in this project not only allows businesses to contribute to regional connectivity but also positions them for future contracts within the public sector as demand for enhanced digital infrastructure continues to grow.

## Notice

Superfast Berkshire's broadband programme (led by West Berkshire District Council) is working to extend coverage of superfast broadband at speeds greater than 24 Mbps across Berkshire, in areas beyond the reach of commercially-funded deployments which are unlikely to be covered without public intervention. This procurement requires a wholesale broadband network solution providing wholesale broadband services at speeds above 30Mbps that retail service providers can use to provide business consumers, residential consumers, and public sector organisations with a range of broadband services for the term. The proposed solution must comply with the BDUK Technology Guidance and must deliver the requirements detailed in the specification.
