Havering Council has invited the firm to submit an expression of interest (EOI) in installing high-speed full fiber broadband infrastructure and connections to council-owned housing stock and associated buildings in London, UK.

The initiative aims to provide high-speed broadband access to more than 4,900 council-owned flats by implementing gigabit-capable connectivity. The Council is promoting the adoption of Fibre to the Premises (FTTP), replacing outdated copper broadband lines with faster and more dependable fiber optic cables. Following the installation of this infrastructure, residents in Havering's council-owned flats will have the option to subscribe to ultra-fast broadband services, offering minimum download speeds of 300Mbps. 

To facilitate the expansion, Havering Council is inviting full-fibre providers to indicate their interest in installing infrastructure in 596 council-owned blocks of flats. The aim is to negotiate terms for wayleave agreements as part of the process. Suppliers with any interest in this must respond by October 16, 2023.
