Norfolk Broadband - procurement process for new contract from 2016

Norfolk Broadband - procurement process for new contract from 2016.

Norfolk County Council is tendering to replace the connectivity and internet services for schools as well as corporate services and other partners. The tender will include the option for telephony services. We will be asking the market to propose services based on the requirements and outcomes that schools require from services.

To ensure that we involve as many schools as possible in the process to cover schools requirements we are developing a consultation and communication plan to align with the procurement process timeline.

A detailed procurement timetable will be made available as soon as possible. We envisage placing an OJEU advert in mid-May and provisional contract award in early December 15.
