In plain English
North Lanarkshire Council is buying gigabit capable broadband, a very fast full-fibre internet connection, for about 37,000 of its council-owned social housing homes across the local authority area. The estimated value is £85,450,527, and the work covers both installing the connections and delivering the service over time.
What the buyer wants
• Install gigabit capable broadband connections in approximately 37,000 council-owned social housing properties across North Lanarkshire • Deliver the connectivity service to tenants, as the title and CPV codes indicate ongoing service delivery alongside installation • Support the Council's Digital Connectivity Masterplan aims, including inclusive growth, tackling digital exclusion, improving access to public and digital services, and enabling technology enabled living in Council homes
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The scale is the main barrier: roughly 37,000 properties and an estimated £85.45 million across the whole council area would most likely rule out small businesses unless they can deliver at this volume or join a larger supplier team, and the notice does not give other specific qualification criteria.
