## Summary

The Suffolk Coastal District Council is currently running a tender titled "Suffolk Coastal District Council Better Broadband" aimed at enhancing broadband access in underserved areas. This procurement project falls under the services category, specifically for Internet Service Providers (CPV code 72411000). The tender is actively open with a submission deadline of 31st May 2018, and the awarded contract will begin on 1st July 2018, lasting until 1st July 2022. The geographical focus is on the East of England, United Kingdom, utilising an open procurement method to invite a wide range of bidders.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the telecommunications and broadband services sector, particularly those specialising in internet provision to rural or underconnected regions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, given the emphasis on extending broadband access to meet the UK Government's Universal Service Obligation.

## Notice

This framework qualifies Contractors to bid on a number of opportunities to provide specialised broadband to areas which either do not have access or are below the current standard of superfast broadband of 10mb/s which is the UK Government Universal Service Obligation and not currently covered by the county run Suffolk Better Broadband Project.
