Provision of 5G Mast's (Static and Mobile) and local private network for the Riseholme Campus

This is a request for market engagement and for any interested parties to make contact and engage with the University

The University is looking for a supplier who can supply, build and maintain a local (Private) 5G Stand Alone wireless network, including the provision of: the infrastructure (both hardware and software); static masts to provide coverage of two distinct areas and connectivity via 10GB link for Cloud computing; a mobile pop up mast capable of being towed by a normal road vehicle (e.g. maximum weight 3500kg) and provide completely stand-alone capability (e.g. power, edge-compute capabilities); and the licence to OFCOM for the spectrum licence(s) for the Riseholme Campus and other sites, to be advised, as and when the mobile solution needs to be deployed.

A key component of this requirement is the provision of a mobile/pop up mast that will use the 5G network in remote areas of the county. This is an important element of the project needed to facilitate the research.
