The competition concerns one service concession where the Contracting Authority does not purchase service from the supplier, but uses a grant for development of a broadband network. The supplier has the full financial risk for costs with development of the network, customer basis/income, as well as costs with operation of the network.
The supplier will not get sole rights on delivery in the particular area even if one uses the service concession as a competition form.
Stryn kommune will develop and facilitate so that private and commercial activities in the area of Rise -Mindresunde are able to connect to a powerful and future orientated broadband network, a so-called ‘next generation access network’ (NGA).
A broadband development with public funding shall elevate the development area up one capacity classification. In other words, one cannot give a grant for a development with new technology within the same capacity classification. The municipality requires the offered system to have a minimum capacity of 30 Mbit/s.
There must not be any obligation to purchase content services in addition to general internet access.
