The procurement falls under the telecommunications services category, with an estimated value of £230 million. This opportunity is currently in the planning stage, with expressions of interest being accepted online. The registration period is open until 29th October 2021, and a supplier event is anticipated in October 2021 to further engage potential participants. The framework is intended to operate over a 65-month period, with an option for a 24-month extension. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the telecommunications industry, particularly those involved in infrastructure development and maintenance services. Businesses offering managed services, construction of telecommunications base stations, and operational solutions for rural network expansion would be particularly well-suited to compete. The framework aligns with the Shared Rural Network initiative, which aims to enhance mobile coverage in remote locations, thus supporting suppliers that can deliver innovative solutions in an evolving telecom landscape. ## Notice DMSL is managing a tender on behalf of the mobile network operators (EE, Telefonica/O2, Three and Vodafone, collectively the "MNOs") to appoint suppliers who are able to provide a managed service to deliver mobile telecoms base station site services. Each of the MNOs will all be a signatory to the Managed Solution framework. Neither DMSL nor the MNOs are contracting authorities. This tender is being conducted voluntarily under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR") as call-offs awarded under the Managed Solution framework will be contracts subsidised by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport within the meaning of Regulation 13 of the PCR. The Managed Solution framework may be used by each of the MNOs and each of their Build companies: Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure Limited (CTIL) and Mobile Broadband Network Limited (MBNL). ### Lot Information Lot 1 DMSL is managing a tender on behalf of the mobile network operators (EE, Telefonica/O2, Three and Vodafone, collectively the "MNOs") to appoint suppliers who are able to provide a managed service to deliver mobile telecoms base station site services along with the operation and maintenance of selected equipment. Each of the MNOs will be a signatory to the Managed Solution framework. These sites are part of the Shared Rural Network (SRN) which consists of circa 300 new telecoms mast base station sites in rural and remote locations across the UK. The sites are planned to be delivered either through this Managed Solution framework or through a separate framework for acquisition, design and build services (the procurement for which is being run in parallel), or a combination of both frameworks. These sites will enable MNOs, as part of the SRN programme, to fulfil their Ofcom Spectrum licence obligations by giving greater mobile network coverage in the UK. Under this Managed Solution framework, the MNOs intend to procure a number of services and activities that allow for provision of new telecommunications infrastructure that can provide mobile telephony services in remote and rural areas. The scope of this requirement is a managed service that includes acquisition, design, build and operations and maintenance services of the passive infrastructure in locations nominated by the MNOs. Supplier ownership of passive infrastructure, for example towers, compounds, fencing and power systems is included. For clarity, supply of the radio access equipment and cabinets will be outside the scope of this procurement and will be supplied by or through the MNOs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023408-2021 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 28 Oct 2021 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £230,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DIGITAL MOBILE SPECTRUM LIMITED | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South East London | | Postcode | SE1 9SG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI44 Lewisham and Southwark | | Local authority | Southwark | | Electoral ward | London Bridge & West Bermondsey | | Westminster constituency | Bermondsey and Old Southwark | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) - 45 - Construction work - 50 - Repair and maintenance services - 64 - Postal and telecommunications services - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services ### Codes - 32000000 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 44212200 - Towers, lattice masts, derricks and pylons - 44212261 - Radio masts - 45232340 - Mobile-telephone base-stations construction work - 45312330 - Radio aerial installation work - 50332000 - Telecommunications-infrastructure maintenance services - 64200000 - Telecommunications services - 71250000 - Architectural, engineering and surveying services - 71316000 - Telecommunication consultancy services - 71410000 - Urban planning services - 71510000 - Site-investigation services ## Release History - 21 Sep 2021 at 07:29 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/023408-2021 ## Notice URLs - https://award.bravosolution.co.uk/srn/web/project/4b218a93-80ec-4446-aa19-08bc2c20f4ed/register - https://srn.org.uk - https://srn.org.uk/procurement-portal-guidance ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
