The purpose of this service is the creation of a 'template' to support this major project. ### Our aim from developing an Urban Connected Communities Template is to create a set of reusable materials that will form a starting point for Local Authorities to prepare for and initiate the delivery of the initial DCMS-led Urban Connected Communities project in which they will take the lead delivery role. Once validated within the initial project, the output Template will be used by many other Local Authorities to validate their readiness for 5G deployment, and to inform further development work required to access the benefits of 5G. ## CPV classification Other community, social and personal services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/9e6c5223-39fd-4306-b952-6cba6e7922de) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
