    "description": "Subject to securing funding, Caerphilly County Borough Council (CCBC) on behalf of participating organisations intends to award a contract to Streetwave Ltd for a period of 12 months with an option to extend for a further period of up to 12 months. \nThe contract will support 65 councils and 6 police forces across Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland in conjunction with the Home Office and associated Governments. Ofcom will also be provided with regular updates and data insights. \nThe proposed collaborative contract is to address the lack of reliable, high-resolution data on mobile and Internet of Things (IoT) network coverage across the UK\u2019s geography, particularly in rural and hard-to-reach areas.\nReliance on predicted data makes it difficult for Public Sector organisations to enforce coverage obligations or guide Government investment. It also limits councils, government, businesses and residents from choosing the best networks or targeting connectivity interventions. For example, councils and Government can\u2019t define digitally excluded communities or identify where planning departments are blocking mast installations that would close coverage gaps. Police forces also lack access to up-to-date cell site data to support investigations, search efforts, and prosecutions.\nThe proposed contract aims to generate the world\u2019s most granular coverage maps across Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Streetwave Ltd will collect real-world signal data from every road and railway line. It is anticipated that this approach will ensure consistent data collection at a national scale.\nThis innovative approach will support the following:\nConsumers and businesses choose the best-performing network in their locations - improving safety and productivity.\nOfcom assesses coverage compliance and support Government policy recommendations.\nCouncils ensure staff and telemetry systems stay connected - boosting performance.\nThe Home Office evaluate national Emergency Services Network (ESN) performance to assess readiness.\nPolice Forces perform national scale cell site analysis - the use of mobile signal data to support investigations.\nPlanning departments identify priority locations for new mast approvals.\nGovernment identification of coverage gaps and support Mobile Network Operators with providing coverage.\nEnvisaged Outcomes:\nMobile Coverage Dashboard - view Data on a GIS and analyse results via automatically generated graphs/charts\nESN Performance Dashboard - allowing the relevant bodies to ascertain gaps within ESN. \nNational Cell Site Data Downloads - allowing cell site analysis \nPublicly Accessible Coverage Checker - allowing residents and businesses to understand the best networks available. \nJoint collaborators: \nEligible Regulatory Bodies:\n1.\tThe Home Office\n2.\tWelsh Government\n3.\tScottish Government\nWelsh Local Authorities: \n1.\tIsle of Anglesey\n2.\tGwynedd\n3.\tConwy County Borough\n4.\tDenbighshire\n5.\tFlintshire\n6.\tWrexham County Borough\n7.\tPowys\n8.\tCeredigion\n9.\tPembrokeshire\n10.\tCarmarthenshire\n11.\tSwansea\n12.\tNeath Port Talbot\n13.\tBridgend County Borough\n14.\tRhondda Cynon Taf\n15.\tMerthyr Tydfil County Borough\n16.\tVale of Glamorgan\n17.\tCardiff\n18.\tCaerphilly County Borough\n19.\tBlaenau Gwent\n20.\tTorfaen\n21.\tMonmouthshire\n22.\tNewport\nScottish Local Authorities: \n1.\tAberdeen City Council\n2.\tAberdeenshire Council\n3.\tAngus Council\n4.\tArgyll and Bute Council\n5.\tCity of Edinburgh Council\n6.\tClackmannanshire Council\n7.\tComhairle nan Eilean Siar\n8.\tDumfries and Galloway Council\n9.\tDundee City Council\n10.\tEast Ayrshire Council\n11.\tEast Dunbartonshire Council\n12.\tEast Lothian Council\n13.\tEast Renfrewshire Council\n14.\tFalkirk Council\n15.\tFife Council\n16.\tGlasgow City Council\n17.\tInverclyde Council\n18.\tMidlothian Council\n19.\tNorth Ayrshire Council\n20.\tNorth Lanarkshire Council\n21.\tOrkney Islands Council\n22.\tPerth and Kinross Council\n23.\tRenfrewshire Council\n24.\tScottish Borders Council\n25.\tShetland Islands Council\n26.\tSouth Ayrshire Council\n27.\tSouth Lanarkshire Council\n28.\tStirling Council\n29.\tThe Highland Council\n30.\tThe Moray Council\n31.\tWest Dunbartonshire Council\n32.\tWest Lothian Council\nNorthern Ireland Local Authorities:\n1.\tAntrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council\n2.\tArds and North Down Borough Council\n3.\tArmagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council\n4.\tBelfast City Council\n5.\tCauseway Coast and Glens Borough Council\n6.\tDerry City and Strabane District Council\n7.\tFermanagh and Omagh District Council\n8.\tLisburn and Castlereagh City Council\n9.\tMid and East Antrim Borough Council\n10.\tMid Ulster District Council\n11.\tNewry, Mourne and Down District Council\nPolice Forces: \n1.\tPolice Scotland\n2.\tPolice Service of Northern Ireland\n3.\tNorth Wales Police\n4.\tSouth Wales Police\n5.\tGwent Police\n6.\tDyfed Powys Police",
