Scope
Description
City of London will be going to market in early 2026 for a cellular network. There will be a minimum of four sites requiring cellular network throughout. The deployment will be modular (different buildings will be brought online on different dates), but the contract must incorporate all sites, with aligned contract renewal dates and consistent SLAs. It is possible up to three additional small sites may also require cellular connectivity, but this will not be known until these sites have been constructed. The contract must be flexible enough to add additional sites as required. City of London requires further information which is outlined below.
