        "description": "DMSL is managing a tender on behalf of the mobile network operators  (EE, Telefonica/O2, Three and Vodafone, collectively the \"MNOs\") to appoint suppliers who are able to provide a managed service to deliver mobile telecoms base station site services along with the operation and maintenance of selected equipment.  Each of the MNOs will be a signatory to the Managed Solution framework. \nThese sites are part of the Shared Rural Network (SRN) which consists of circa 300 new telecoms mast base station sites in rural and remote locations across the UK.  The sites are planned to be delivered either through this Managed Solution framework or through a separate framework for acquisition, design and build services (the procurement for which is being run in parallel), or a combination of both frameworks.\nThese sites will enable MNOs, as part of the SRN programme, to fulfil their Ofcom Spectrum licence obligations by giving greater mobile network coverage in the UK.\nUnder this Managed Solution framework, the MNOs intend to procure a number of services and activities that allow for provision of new telecommunications infrastructure that can provide mobile telephony services in remote and rural areas. \nThe scope of this requirement is a managed service that includes acquisition, design, build and operations and maintenance services of the passive infrastructure in locations nominated by the MNOs.  Supplier ownership of passive infrastructure, for example towers, compounds, fencing and power systems is included. \nFor clarity, supply of the radio access equipment and cabinets will be outside the scope of this procurement and will be supplied by or through the MNOs. Additional information: It is intended to hold a supplier event during the registration period in or around September 2021.  All applicants who have registered for this procurement and signed the procurement NDA or registered on the srn.org.uk website and signed that NDA will be sent an invitation to attend a supplier event hosted by DMSL."
