Description

On behalf of England's Connected Heartland 5G Innovation Region (ECH 5GIR), Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) intends to procure a contract for a single Supplier to install and operate 5G mobile private network managed services for Rail Lines in the ECH region. The procurement will evaluate tenders based on the specification for a scenario deployment for the East West Rail Line (Bicester to Bletchley), with the possibility to extend the network to further locations during the term. The network will underpin a wide array of applications, from providing passenger Wi-Fi and Point of Sale applications, rail operations, real-time information services to support the technological needs of the rail line, and smart agricultural applications for trackside neighbours. We invite interested parties to review this notice and consider the opportunity to contribute to a project that promises to enhance connectivity along the East West Rail Line (Bicester to Bletchley) and set a model for similar networks elsewhere in the UK and beyond. The Contract has a term of 7years and there are options to extend the Initial Term for periods up to a maximum of three years.
