In plain English
The UK government is building gigabit-capable (very fast) broadband networks in remote and rural areas that commercial companies won't serve profitably. They're looking for suppliers to deliver and build this infrastructure over the next 9 years across the hardest-to-reach parts of the UK.
What the buyer wants
• Design, build, and deploy gigabit-capable broadband network infrastructure in underserved rural and remote areas • Provide long-term operational and maintenance services to ensure sustainable wholesale broadband availability • Work within a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) framework to respond to periodic call-offs over a 9-year period
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
This is a £2 billion programme aimed at large telecoms and infrastructure contractors, small trade businesses (builders, electricians, cleaners) will almost certainly be unsuitable unless you are a specialist broadband/telecoms infrastructure company with significant delivery experience and financial capacity.
How to bid
This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
