Ofcom would like to engage with suitably experienced and skilled suppliers to deliver spectrum licensing activities. Ofcom welcomes responses from platform and product providers, specialist spectrum-technology suppliers, systems integrators, implementation partners and suppliers able to provide configurable, modular or bespoke capabilities. Respondents may cover all or only part of the capability landscape described within the Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) document. This PME focuses on spectrum licencing systems, processes, data and operational capabilities used to deliver approved policy. It does not determine licensing policy strategy, including spectrum-management policy objectives, regulatory frameworks, licence products, licence conditions or regulatory obligations. This PME is being undertaken to inform Ofcom's procurement strategy and requirements. As the scope, contract structure, term and value have not yet been determined, any estimated contract value is indicative only. At this stage, Ofcom anticipates that the total value of any resulting contract(s) may be in the range of £2 million to £25 million, with the final value and duration to be informed by the outcomes of this market engagement and subsequent procurement planning. The PME will provide Ofcom with the opportunity to obtain insight into how potential Suppliers might approach delivery of the good(s)/service(s) in question and gain an understanding of the capabilities and interest from the market.

Estimated value: 25,000,000 GBP including VAT
