9. Submission requirements
Responses to this OMR RFI must include the following:
1. A data submission that covers your current and planned premises coverage (i.e. premises served by your network, or planned to be served by your network) at UPRN level as per the format outlined in Annex B:
- please include all current and planned premises coverage within the geographic scope of this OMR i.e. Scotland
- please include any existing or planned infrastructure you have gained with assistance from government subsidy for example, vouchers, Superfast (NBS 2012 or NBS 2016), GIS, LFFN, RGC and GigaHubs
- additional guidance can be provided to suppliers if required, please contact gigabitomr@gov.scot for support
2. An up to date Supporting Evidence Pack
The OMR process will involve ongoing resource commitments from respondents following initial data and evidence submissions at certain intervals in the process. Where additional clarification requests are raised, respondents should ensure adequate resources are in place to meet clarification deadlines. Responses received after these clarification deadlines may not be considered within the evaluation window for this OMR. In addition, without refreshed evidence, there is no guarantee that the evaluators will return the same determination as they may have reached previously. As such, if you do not provide updates to your supporting evidence or data, or do not respond to Clarification Questions (CQs), this may affect the assessment outcome.
3. Tell us which types of wholesale access products you would like to see on subsidised networks.
This information may inform the intervention design. We are not obliged to include these products in the invitation to tender.
Note that where your coverage claims are for gigabit-capable networks, then your response detailing your proposed network design and architecture must consider the technical definition as outlined in Annex D.
