## Summary

The procurement process titled "Managed Solution framework" is managed by Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited (DMSL) in association with mobile network operators including EE, Telefonica, Three, and Vodafone. This tender falls under the telecommunications services industry and aims to appoint suppliers who can deliver managed services for mobile telecoms base station site services across approximately 300 new sites in rural and remote locations in the UK. The current stage of the procurement is "Tender," which is actively seeking bids until the deadline for submissions, and the total contract value is £230 million, with the framework lasting up to 65 months with an option to extend for a further 24 months. Relevant parties may refer to the detailed procurement instructions available on the SRN Procurement Portal.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises that specialise in telecommunications infrastructure, construction, and related services. Companies that can provide solutions for site acquisition, design, build, and maintenance of telecommunications facilities will be well-positioned to compete for contracts awarded under this framework. The participation in this procurement could also be advantageous for large firms capable of managing extensive operational requirements and collaborating with sub-contractors, thereby enhancing their market presence in the telecommunications sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

DMSL is managing a tender on behalf of the mobile network operators (EE, Telefonica, Three and Vodafone, collectively the "Contracting Organisations") 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 Contracting Organisations is 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 the Contracting Organisations, as part of the SRN programme, to fulfil their Ofcom Spectrum licence obligations by giving greater 4G mobile network geographic coverage in the UK. Under the Managed Solution framework, the Contracting Organisations 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 of the passive infrastructure in locations nominated by the Contracting Organisations. 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 is outside the scope of this procurement and will be supplied by or through the Contracting Organisations.

Options: Option to extend the Managed Solution framework for 1 extra period of 24 months.
