LCRCA Digital Infrastructure Project

The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA) is looking to establish a joint venture or similar partnership, with a supplier in order to build, operate and maintain a digital connectivity backhaul network across the Liverpool City Region. LCRCA is looking to establish a partnership arrangement with a supplier, who will support in the design, implementation, maintenance, operation and commercialisation of such network. The supplier will be prepared to enter into a long-term commercial and financial arrangement with LCRCA to support in delivering the wider ambition around LCRCA's digital strategy for the LCR. This digital network is expected to deliver a dedicated full fibre backhaul network, with unlimited capacity, which passes through all LCR localities and provide the opportunity for future development of local authority local access networks as well as wider commercial opportunities.
