Description

The SWBH Trust, requires a contractor to run 2 fibre cables between The Energy Centre and the Birmingham Treatment Centre.

This will be a soft dig solution at a depth anywhere between 350mm and 550mm.

Due to this being a shallow dig solution, both fibre cables must be protected by armoured cabling which is also protected against any fires.

The route is approximately 500m-600m in length and will involve some civils where the fibre will traverse across a road in the car BTC car park. After this, it will need to go around a green area.

From the entry points (of the BTC/Energy Centre), the contractor will need to determine a route to our communications room on the first floors. Potential bidders are welcome to come onsite and walk the route with the network architect, to ensure they can provide as accurate a quote as possible.

All internal cabling will need to be firestopping fully compliant and adhere to BS 7671:2018 standards.
Due to tight deadlines, potential bidders must ensure they can complete the route in a maximum of 5 months from the date of the contract being awarded.
