## Summary

Aberdeen City Council is preparing to initiate a tender for the "Public Sector Fibre Network Extension," which falls under the works category within the public services industry. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the Council looking to extend its fibre network across three distinct areas: West (approximately 10 km), South (approximately 6.3 km), and North (approximately 2.4 km). Key dates to note include the expected publication of the main tender, likely in January or February 2020, with an initial future notice date on 31 January 2020. Located in Aberdeen, the tender aims to enhance the communications infrastructure of the local authority and is classified under the CPV code 32421000.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses in construction, civil engineering, and telecommunications sectors to contribute to the expansion of fibre network infrastructure in Aberdeen. Companies with expertise in duct installation, excavation, and fibre optic cable laying would be well-suited to participate in this tender. With detailed plans for ducting installations and specific geographical routes specified by the Council, interested bidders are encouraged to prepare their proposals and register their interest as the tender process unfolds.

ACC will shortly be undertaking a tender for the civils involved to enable laying of UPVC green ducts. In total the Council is looking at 3 areas of ducting - West (c.10k), South (c.6.3k) and North (c.2.4k) But this will not all necessarily be covered off under one tender.
