About

West Sussex County Council awarded a contract to CityFibre Ltd for the procurement of ducting and fibre optic cables connecting key locations across the county, to be made available as a service to the Council and its delivery partners.

The infrastructure will support the Council's strategic plan to improve the value and flexibility of its Wide Area Network, currently provided by Capita Business Services Limited.

The contract, valued at £5,700,000, includes the installation of additional Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) by either the Council or its Service Provider to incorporate additional capacity into the managed WAN.

The procurement also establishes a Framework Agreement accessible by other public sector agencies within the County, with potential extension to Brighton and Hove City Council.

West Sussex County Council is a first wave exemplar project for the Full Fibre Network Programme (LFFN) operated by the Broadband Development UK (BDUK) programme within the Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS), and this procurement is part funded by DCMS.

The Framework Authority is acting as a Lead Authority on behalf of a wider group of public sector bodies, working in partnership with all six Districts and Borough Councils in West Sussex (Adur and Worthing, Arun, Chichester, Crawley, Horsham and Mid Sussex) and will action the first Call-Off Contract for its own requirements and those of its partners.
