Introduction
Through Broadband Delivery UK's (BDUK's, part of DCMS) current programmes DCMS is already delivering superfast broadband broadband (meaning access (download) speeds of a minimum of 24 Mbps) to reach 90% of premises in the UK and to provide universal access to basic broadband (meaning Basic network infrastructure which enables access (download) speeds of a minimum of 2 Mbps). In June 2013 the government announced a further £250m of funding, locally matched, to support increased coverage of superfast broadband to 95% of premises in the UK by the end of 2017.

DCMS’s market engagement in September 2013 showed that new solutions would be required in order to extend coverage beyond 95%, so in addition to existing initiatives, Government also announced an additional £10 million for a competitive fund to market test innovative solutions to deliver superfast broadband services to as many as possible of the unserved, hard-to-reach areas of the UK.

The Challenge
Through the ITT DCMS is asking Tenderers to (i) propose technical, commercial and operational solutions which have the potential to cover a significant proportion of the remaining 5% of unserved areas in the UK with superfast broadband and (ii) to propose methods by which it can be tested whether these solutions are viable. DCMS will evaluate tendered solutions and intends to award single contracts to fund the desk based design and subsequent deployment of pilot networks for the most economically advantageous solutions.

DCMS requires solutions that offer superfast broadband. It recognises that there may be solutions that can offer superfast speeds (i.e. 24 Mbps or higher), while being advanced basic broadband solutions. DCMS is open to receiving responses to this ITT that propose solutions offering a ‘step change’ in capability and superfast speeds, while not being recognised Next Generation Access (NGA) networks . However, Tenderers should note that these solutions could only be used to cover basic broadband white areas, instead of all NGA white areas.

The ITT gives further information on the nature of the remaining unserved areas in the UK.

There are three approaches to providing a solution that we are particularly interested in receiving tender responses on. These are shown in the lots below.

Lots
1.   Testing a technology which is technically known to work but where it is currently unknown or uncertain whether it can be used as a viable solution for deploying superfast broadband in the remaining unserved areas. For example, suppliers may choose to bid for projects based on any of the following non-exclusive list of technologies:
•   Fibre to the pole, kerb or basement or other ‘remote node’, making further incremental fibre upgrades to the parts of the existing copper network;
•   Fibre direct to the premises
•   Fixed wireless access, including 4G LTE mobile spectrum for fixed broadband; and
•   Satellite.
2.   Testing novel operating models that increase investment levels through standardisation or aggregation reducing barriers to the market delivering superfast broadband solutions in the remaining unserved areas. Examples of this could include:
•   Upgrading disparate smaller networks to a common standard to aggregate into a larger, more viable network;
•   Providing a commercial wrapper (e.g. Business Support Systems/ Operational Support Systems) standardising wholesale product portfolios from disparate networks to present a larger addressable market for ISPs; and
•   Converting an established vertically-integrated network into a wholesale network and connecting to an ISP’s systems to assess impact on commercial viability of the wholesale-only model compared to the vertically-integrated model.
3.   Testing whether there are innovative public / private funding models which will be effective at leveraging new financing investment to allow solutions to be delivered in the remaining unserved areas. Examples of this could include:
•   Establishing project finance vehicles to lease fibre infrastructure, leveraging private finance;
•   Establishing a community delivery model that leverages social funding sources; and
•   Establishing micro-finance loans for consumers to borrow to pay higher install costs over longer periods.
Tenderers are permitted to submit as many Tenders as they wish, provided each response contains a different solution. Each tender response provided by a Tenderer must be submitted in full compliance with the requirements for responses as set out in the ITT. Tenderers should consult paragraphs 4.6 and 4.7 within the ITT for further information on the number and types of Tenders Tenderers can submit.

Evaluation
DCMS will evaluate the tender responses for the most economically advantageous solutions within each Lot. Using the evaluation criteria and process described in the Invitation to Tender DCMS will rank the tender responses in each lot.

Selection of the appropriate portfolio of tender responses
Following the evaluation process to rank Tenders within their respective Lots, DCMS will undertake a process to select the optimum portfolio of Tender responses to contract for. DCMS aims to select the portfolio of Tenders that gives it the best chance of receiving positive answers to the Challenge described in the ITT, as well as giving a broad selection of types of solution and a substantial amount of learning on how to cover a significant proportion of the remaining unserved areas in the UK with superfast broadband.
Appendix F to the ITT provides some worked examples to illustrate how this selection process operates. The Portfolio Selection worked examples will be discussed at the Supplier Days on 28 March and 9 April.
To select the portfolio DCMS will first select the winning Tender within each Lot, provided that Tender has scored a minimum of 50%.
If there is sufficient funding remaining following selection of the winning Tender in each Lot DCMS will select additional Tenders for the portfolio. In determining the additional Tenders to select DCMS will consider the Tenders’ ranks within their Lots, the optimum portfolio of Tenders across the three Lots in accordance with the aims described in the first paragraph of this section and the available funding remaining.
Within any Lot DCMS will always select a higher scoring Tender unless the remaining funding available precludes its selection or the £3.3m funding cap means that Tender cannot be selected.
DCMS reserves the right not to award some or all of the £10m of available funding.
Following this process, DCMS will communicate to all Tenderers that submitted a Tender the portfolio of Tenders it wishes to contract for.

Location of Pilots
Tenderers must select at least three locations where it would be willing to run a pilot for each Tender it submits.
If a Tenderer is successful, DCMS will allocate a location for the pilot based on the Tenderer's stated acceptable locations. The Tenderer must be able to deliver its solution as it has described in its Tender in each of its stated locations without materially varying its solution.
Tenderers' responses to the location of pilots will not be evaluated. Instead they will be used once the successful Tenderers have been selected and before contract award to determine where their pilots will be located.
When allocating a location for each pilot, DCMS will select one or more of the locations the Tenderer has indicated they would be willing to host a pilot in. In making this decision DCMS will consider the nature of the successful Tenderer’s solution, the nature of the locations the Tenderer has indicated and also the locations which the other successful Tenderers have indicated. DCMS aims to select locations which gives rise to the greatest likelihood that pilots will be successful and to ensure an even and fair dispersal of pilots, but will always have regard to its obligation of equal treatment when doing so.
DCMS will consider splitting a pilot across more than one location to test different geotypes where the Tenderer indicates that this is possible.
DCMS will work with Local Bodies and Tenderers to identify the precise areas for the pilots within the broader location.

Invites are limited to a maximum of two attendees per organisation. The details for the events are:
•   Friday 28 March, 14:30-17:00, DCMS Offices, 100 Parliament Street, London. SW1A 2BQ
•   Wednesday 9 April, 13:00-15:30, DCMS Offices, 100 Parliament Street, London. SW1A 2BQ


While DCMS intends to enter into any contracts for the pilots itself, it may be necessary/appropriate for the executed Agreements between DCMS and the successful Tenderers (or parts of them) to be transferred/novated from DCMS to Local Bodies.

Where such transfer/novation does take place, DCMS will enter into necessary arrangements with the appropriate Local Body to govern the transfer of funds from DCMS to the Local Body and to ensure that DCMS retains oversight and control over the outcomes from the Pilot Services as appropriate.
