WM5G intend to award a contract to support the delivery of a multi-million pound Adoption Programme. This agreement is intended to be awarded in December 2023 and will be to supply detailed input (Solution Design / Business Impact documents) required to enable the creation of a Manufacturing Adoption Hub within a global advanced manufacturer site based in the West Midlands,
Successful delivery of this programme will require the experience and understanding of the existing ecosystem within the manufacturing site. The scope of this work includes private 5GSA as well as other technologies such as narrowband and satellite, for example.
The scope of this requirement can only be performed by one entity, due to existing contractual arrangements between the manufacturing location and supplier. It is not possible to tender this section of scope to other parties. Accordingly competition is absent for technical reasons and there is no reasonable alternative or substitute (Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii)).
Note: Contracts associated to the wider opportunity will be tendered in accordance with Public Procurement Regulations.
