Stoke on Trent City Council is looking to the successful bidder to undertake turnkey responsibility for the SPON upgrade on behalf of the City Council. Stoke-on-Trent City Council is further asking the successful bidder to, at their own cost, set up and install appropriate Active equipment and thereafter operate and support an Open Access platform and portal and marketplace that enables multiple service providers to sell broadband and IP products and services.
The bidder shall be responsible for:
Project Management
Network Design and Survey
Network construction
Fibre Deployment
Provisioning of Gbps Services to both residents and the business community
