Purpose

Procurement of Replacement of Analogue Line
and broadband services for NYC.
NYC (including former districts) have many hundreds of traditional
analogue line and broadband services which are used to provide
services such as alarm lines, lift lines, standalone lines, fax
lines, traffic signals, monitoring systems etc.
Openreach who provide the underlying infrastructure for these
services are withdrawing this product set with effect from December
2025 and have announced a national “Stop Sell” which
means it is no longer possible to purchase or amend these legacy
products.
Additionally, the existing contracts for these traditional products
have now expired or are about to expire within the next 12
months.
A new contract is required for the supply of the new generation of
products (SoGEA and FTTP) and consolidate former district and NYCC
requirements in to one new contract.
The proposed contract term will be 4 years and a total value of
£1.3m + VAT which will be cost neutral in terms of
budget.

analogue lines (and other associated services and products which

December 2025) via a direct award option using YPO 000976 Network
