II.1.3)Information about a framework agreement or a dynamic purchasing system (DPS)
II.1.4)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
The aim of the project is to ensure that 100 % of residential and business properties in Surrey have access to broadband by the end of 2013. This project is focused on residential and small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) that rely on local telecoms networks but recognises that broadband access would also be of interest to larger organisations due to the opportunities created for flexible and home working.
It is expected that one of the outcomes will be for all premises within Surrey to have access to Internet speeds of 30Mbps and for 50 % of those premises to have access to speeds of 100Mbps by 2013.
It is anticipated that one in five Surrey homes and businesses will not have access to superfast broadband by 2013 which would disadvantage approximately 200,000 people in Surrey. Surrey’s public bodies and the county’s business and voluntary sectors - working together as the Surrey Strategic Partnership and lead by Surrey County Council - are seeking to address this inequity by ensuring that everyone in Surrey has access to superfast broadband.
The intention is for work to be completed by December 2013. However, developments during the Competitive Dialogue procedure mean that this target date is subject to change by mutual agreement.
Further, it is anticipated that the contractual agreement for creating a wholesale market to make use of this infrastructure will run for a minimum operational period of 7 years essentially in order to comply with State aid guidance relating to open access.
