## Summary

The Welsh Government, represented by Llywodraeth Cymru / Welsh Government, is planning a procurement process titled "Extending High Speed Broadband Reach in Wales". The procurement falls under the industry category of telecommunications equipment installation. This tender aims to address the lack of high-speed broadband access in around 84,000 premises in Wales, with a planned value of £70,000,000. The Welsh Government is in the planning stage and is currently engaging with suppliers through virtual market engagement meetings to discuss potential delivery options. Interested suppliers can register by emailing NextGenerationBroadB1@gov.wales by 9th June 2023.

This tender by the Welsh Government creates opportunities for businesses in the telecommunications and technology sectors to participate in providing solutions for extending high-speed broadband reach in Wales. Companies with expertise in telecommunications equipment, network deployment, and related services are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The key deadline for registering interest in the market engagement meetings is 9th June 2023, providing businesses with a chance to engage directly with the Welsh Government to shape the procurement approach and understand the requirements for this important infrastructure project.

## Notice

This early market engagement notice is to share the Welsh Government's intentions and evoke discussion in relation to extending the reach of high speed broadband in Wales.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Following a recent review by the Welsh Government, it has been identified that around 84,000 premises within Wales do not have access to superfast download speeds (at least 30Mbps) exacerbating the digital divide. Ofcom has previously stated that a subset of these, around 10,000 premises do not yet have access to at least 10Mbps. While there are existing interventions scheduled by the telecommunications industry and UK Government public funded interventions, these remote and hard-to-reach areas are not likely to be addressed commercially and it is not certain that they will be addressed by further publicly funded interventions. Additional information: Please note that although 'No Lots' has been selected, the Welsh Government may nevertheless divide the Project requirements into either separate procurement exercises and/or Lots. The exact structure and scope of the procurement strategy to be adopted has not yet been determined.
