What the buyer wants

For Breitband Ostalb KAöR as well as the towns and municipalities of the Ostalbkreis district, providing citizens and commercial enterprises with high-performance, future-proof broadband services is an important mission in terms of public service provision, economic development, and securing the business location. Given the demand for high data rates and long transmission distances between networks, the expansion of fibre-optic technology plays a crucial role in particular.

For this reason, Breitband Ostalb KAöR and the towns and municipalities of the Ostalbkreis district have established a fibre-optic infrastructure in recent years to ensure high-performance and future-proof coverage in parts of the district.

For this purpose, starting from connection points to existing fibre-optic infrastructures, Breitband Ostalb KAöR established the feeder infrastructures into the coverage area (backbone network), and the towns and municipalities established local distribution networks in underserved areas of the district based on FTTC (as an intermediate step) and FTTB technology. The network operator of the existing backbone network as well as the existing local distribution networks (FTTC and FTTB) is NetCom BW GmbH, Ellwangen.

Based on this infrastructure, the towns and municipalities plan the construction of a publicly funded gigabit network based on FTTB technology successively in the years 2028 to 2030 in the coverage areas according to the tender documents. Starting from the existing backbone network of the Ostalbkreis district, the subsidized gigabit network (FTTB) consists of feeder infrastructures into the coverage area as well as local distribution networks in the respective expansion areas.

An overview of the planned gigabit network (FTTB) and a cartographic representation of the expansion area defined by address points can be found in the Annex "Supply Area" (Anlage Versorgungsgebiet) to the tender documents.

The project is funded under the - Directive "Funding to support the gigabit rollout of telecommunications networks in the Federal Republic of Germany" (Gigabit Directive) – "Grey Spots" funding programme (GFP 1.0), in the version of the announcement dated 27/12/2022, as well as under the - "Administrative Regulation of the Ministry of the Interior on the Co-Financing of the Federal Directive 'Funding to support the gigabit rollout of telecommunications networks in the Federal Republic of Germany'" (VwV Gigabitmitfinanzierung) dated 10/09/2021.

The preliminary federal grant notification and the grant notification of the State of Baden-Württemberg for co-financing the project are attached in the Annex "Grant Notifications" (Anlage Zuwendungsbescheide) to the tender documents. Lot 1 includes the following reference numbers of the grant notifications below: - Federal grant notification, file ref.: 832.6/10-22 01BW21949 - State of BW grant notification, file ref.: 4-8433.5/238-819102639.

This newly created passive gigabit network (FTTB) is to be transferred to a commercial network operator successively as ready-to-operate sub-networks for use and for establishing the active network layer and providing high-bitrate broadband connections against payment of a fee.

Furthermore, network extensions built at a later date, for example through densification in built-up areas or the development of new construction areas, are to be handed over to the network operator in the respective municipal territories after their completion and form part of the subject matter of the tender. The expansion area covers the municipal territories as described in the tender documents.

In a first step, the towns and municipalities will establish a gigabit network (FTTB) in their respective municipal territories to connect the grey spots in accordance with the Gigabit Directive. The contract for Lot 1 includes a guaranteed minimum quantity and a maximum quantity of building connection points (GAP) and units of use (NE) (quantity corridor); network extensi…
