## Summary

The procurement process involves the University of Strathclyde, located in Glasgow, which has initiated a tender for the "Supply and Delivery of a 5G network." This project falls under the education sector and is part of a broader initiative to enhance the testing capabilities for low carbon transport systems. The tender was published on the 25th of February 2022, with the submission deadline set for 11th March 2022. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, allowing for a competitive bidding process.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the telecommunications and technology sectors, looking to expand their involvement in innovative infrastructure projects. Companies with experience in high-frequency communication networks, such as 5G technology providers or those specialising in low carbon solutions, would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The financial threshold for participation is a minimum turnover of £200,000 over the past three years, ensuring that suppliers have the necessary resources to deliver on this essential project.

## Notice

Founded by the University of Strathclyde, Scottish Power Energy Networks and SSE Power Distribution, with support from Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Funding Council, the Power Networks Demonstration Centre (PNDC), recently secured funding from Transport Scotland to create a low carbon transport and propulsion systems hub as part of the broader whole energy systems capability that will focus on the testing and de-risking of integrated low and zero emission transport systems in the whole system context. The funding grant makes up part of a wider project where the Scottish Government intend to work with partners to deliver its actions to change the culture so that electric vehicles (EVs) are preferred to petrol and diesel vehicles. The electrification of transport places increased demands on managing electricity distribution networks, and with that, significantly enhanced communications capability. It represents a significant step in the change to decarbonisation and reducing the use of fossil fuels such as these used in petrol and diesel vehicles. Such a change will present an overall increase and particularly extremely localised electrical demand when charging vehicles. Coordinating these rapid change in electrical demand requires a secure, reliable and fast communication network, such that electrical generation can match demand. This test 5G network will enable testing various communication architectures to enable this transition. This equipment will be additional to the current infrastructure at PNDC and must be connected to provide the enhanced capability.

### Lot Information
