This initiative falls under the telecommunications industry and aims to deliver transmission solutions for mobile telecom base stations across the UK. The procurement is currently in the tender stage, with submission deadlines set for 1st July 2022. The process is classified as an open procedure, enabling a wide range of suppliers to participate, with a total estimated contract value of £50 million and a contract duration of up to 60 months, with an option to extend for an additional 24 months. This opportunity presents significant growth potential for suppliers specialising in data transmission services, particularly small and medium enterprises involved in the telecommunications sector. With a focus on providing IPVPN services and supporting infrastructure, companies experienced in project management, surveying, installation, and technical support will find this tender particularly relevant. Participants are required to adhere to specific selection criteria outlined in the tender documentation, and they must register on the online portal to submit their interest and proposals. ## Notice DMSL is managing a tender on behalf of the mobile network operators (EE, Telefonica, Three and Vodafone, collectively the "Contracting Organisations") to appoint a supplier who is able to provide transmission services for mobile telecoms base station sites. Each of the Contracting Organisations will be a signatory to the Transmission Services framework. Neither DMSL nor the Contracting Organisations are contracting authorities. This tender is being conducted voluntarily under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ( "PCR") as call-offs awarded under the framework will be contracts subsidised by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) within the meaning of Regulation 13 of the PCR. The purpose of this procurement is to find a supplier to deliver the provision of IPVPN services and any supporting infrastructure to new total not-spot (TNS) sites and or upgrades to existing MNO/3rd party sites to support the delivery of the Shared Rural Network TNS programme. The scope includes the project management, survey, upgrade, and installation of the new transmission infrastructure to facilitate the delivery of the IPVPN service. The Transmission Services framework may be used by each of the Contracting Organisations 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 Contracting Organisations, to appoint suppliers on a Transmission framework, to provide a transmission solution to SRN TNS sites. The purpose of this procurement is to appoint a supplier who is able to deliver all of the transmission services and any supporting infrastructure to new total not-spot (TNS) sites and or upgrades to existing MNO/3rd party sites to support the delivery of the Shared Rural Network TNS programme. This is expected to be primarily a fibre led solution and by exception, at the Contracting Organisation's discretion, a hybrid fibre/microwave, or satellite as a last resort (low earth orbit satellite). The TNS sites will be delivered either through an Acquisition, Design and Build (ADB) supplier or a managed solution (MS) supplier on behalf of the Contracting Organisation. Where no existing IPVPN interconnect exists with the Contracting Organisation, the supplier will be responsible for liaising with the Contracting Organisation for successful testing of the supplier solution on their test beds, building and providing interconnects with the Contracting Organisation's core network to deliver the IPVPN services required. The Supplier will bear all costs (including internal resource, technical support and management costs) incurred by the Contracting Organisation to successfully test and implement the IPVPN managed services. Full details are in the procurement documentation. It is expected that the supplier will provide any project management to carry out this role and liaise with other project participants in achieving a successful delivery of a transmission solution at each site location. Options: Option to extend the Transmission Services framework for 1 extra period of 24 months ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014916-2022 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 May 2022 | | Submission deadline | 1 Jul 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000,000 | | Lots value | £50,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | 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 - 31 - Electrical machinery, apparatus, equipment and consumables; lighting - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support ### Codes - 31711422 - Microwave equipment - 32260000 - Data-transmission equipment - 32530000 - Satellite-related communications equipment - 32562300 - Optical-fibre cables for data transmission - 32581100 - Data-transmission cable - 72318000 - Data transmission services ## Release History - 27 May 2022 at 13:04 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/014916-2022 ## Notice URLs - https://award.bravosolution.co.uk/srn/web/project/b70527ea-94a0-4222-b341-b6ac749220b6/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.
