## Summary

Dundee City Council is conducting an open tender process for the project titled "Open Full Fibre based Public Wi-Fi and Future 5G Testbed Area."

The deadline for tender submissions is set for 13th March 2018, with the initial operational requirement for certain areas by 31st August 2018.

Furthermore, firms interested in collaborating in future 5G developments may find this project a strategic entry point into Dundee's broader digital ambitions.
