## Summary

The Wolverhampton City Council is initiating a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) process for the procurement titled "Backhaul Circuits for Urban Traffic Control." This tender falls within the telecommunications industry and is located in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, England. Currently in the planning stage, the engagement end date is set for 1 December 2021. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register their interest and contribute to the planning phase to help maintain essential backhaul circuits that support urban traffic infrastructure across multiple local authorities.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in telecommunications equipment and network services. Companies that can offer robust communication solutions and maintain critical infrastructure with prompt fault monitoring and repair capabilities, as specified in the tender, would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with Wolverhampton City Council could lead to ongoing contracts that support the backbone of urban traffic management systems.

## Notice

The purpose of this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is to seek input from potential suppliers within the market, to establish how the Council without disruption to the ITS infrastructure, can maintain the back haul circuits for 4 local authorities. We currently manage a network of BT Etherflow circuits to support remote control of traffic signals, CCTV and VMS from the Urban Traffic Control Centre. A series of backhaul circuits are installed from the communications data centre in Civic centre Wolverhampton to remote sites across the Black country area. These circuits provide the backbone to key locations and a mesh infrastructure links co-located infrastructure from the backhaul. We are looking for suppliers that can provide the same level of communication for the backhaul whist retaining the existing onward infrastructure. Some of the sites using the backhaul are critical and require 24/7 automatic fault monitoring to ensure that any faults are known immediately with the customer being notified any faults simultaneously and faults must be rectified within 8 hours.
