The delivery of high speed connectivity to businesses and residential consumers and communities is required to address the UK’s economic growth and development agenda. Investment will be required to deploy broadband infrastructure and the topography and/or demographic characteristics of certain geographies, together with the lack of competitive pressure, means that market-driven private investments alone will not achieve the UK Government's objectives relating to the delivery of standard and superfast broadband across the UK as a whole. Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) has been created within DCMS to be the delivery vehicle for the Government's policies relating to stimulating private sector investment using the available funding. Further details on BDUK and its current objectives and activities can be found at: http://www.culture.gov.uk/what_we_do/telecommunications_and_online/7781.aspx. BDUK is seeking to establish a framework agreement of suitably qualified suppliers capable of delivering local broadband projects as required by local bodies or groups of local bodies in regions throughout the UK. Further details of the "local bodies" who may make call offs under the framework agreement are included in Section VI.3. The framework agreement is expected to be the procurement vehicle for the majority of local broadband projects once they have been allocated BDUK funding. There may be a small number of local broadband projects that do not use the framework agreement and this will be agreed with BDUK. Suppliers appointed to the framework agreement will need to be capable of delivering a range of broadband and related requirements, including (but not limited to):
— The design, build, implementation and operation of wholesale broadband networks. Call offs may be at the equivalent of a sub-county, county, multi-county or regional level and such areas could potentially be up to the order of 500 000 premises. As a minimum a supplier will need to have the capability to deliver at least one local project as defined in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire,
— Broadband solutions that meet outcomes-based specifications rather than being tied to specific technologies and platforms,
— Open access wholesale services including those that can be made available by retail service providers (e.g. Internet Service Providers) as part of their retail broadband packages for business and residential customers,
— Related services including (but not limited to) marketing services, demand stimulation and ancillary services. It is currently anticipated that the initial term of the framework agreement will be two years with the possibility / option to extend this by up to 2 one year extensions, making a maximum possible term of 4 years. Following completion of each design, build and implementation phase, it is anticipated that call off contracts will run for a minimum operational period of seven years essentially in order to comply with State aid requirements relating to open access. There is the potential for the framework agreement to cover projects with an estimated total value of between 750 000 000 and 2 000 000 000 GBP (see further details on financing and payment arrangements in Section III.1.2). This estimated total value is based on the total level of public subsidy and private sector investment expected to be put towards the funding of projects. The public subsidy will comprise BDUK funding and funding from the local body (which may include funding derived from the European Regional Development Fund). The private sector investment will comprise investment from suppliers appointed to deliver projects via call-off contracts. Further detail is included in the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire which will made available through the Delta eSourcing procurement portal within a week of the date of despatch of this contract notice and which will be available until the date specified in Section IV.3.3. Interested suppliers are invited to attend a briefing session via teleconferencing on 5 July 2011 at 11:00 to assist them in completing the Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (see Section VI.3 for further information about this session).
