two.2.4) Description of the procurement
S5GConnect requires a partner to deliver technical and business services to organisations and users of multiple 5G hubs. This includes but is not limited to: 1) Awareness Phase: Working with the S5GConnect Programme the partner will design, create and deliver a marketing programme that promotes the services of the hubs. We are looking for an organisation that is well connected across the telecoms, 5G use case and innovation space and can enhance our offering in the awareness phase to ensure our offer is appealing and adds value to industry. You will not be leading this activity but providing knowledge and information to the S5GC team to maximise impact and outcomes. 2) Professional Consultancy Services: S5GConnect hubs requires the contractor to have the expertise required to complement SMEs and organisational business development activity in relation to 5G. S5GConnect aims to support organisations in creating or evolving products and solutions that will be amplified or made possible through 5G connectivity. This requires the contractor to be able to understand the commercial value and potential of the solution across a wide range of industries, the skill set is therefore focused on commercial knowledge and experience. 3) Use Case Consultancy Services: These services fall into a more technically specialist focus area and will be specifically focused on the viability of the proposed use for testing at one of our 5G testbed, and all technical aspects to configure, prototype and test. The hub service provision would be scaled as each hub launches and therefore provision for multiple hubs is not require from launch but would roll out over a 6 month period and then continue as a service for multiple locations.
