Dear , Request for Information – ATISN 12453

I wrote to you on 12 July regarding your request for information on the FibreSpeed project. You asked for: 1. Dates, amounts and sources of both Welsh Government and European Union

funding and what these were for, both for the original deployment and the ongoing operation of the FibreSpeed network, specifically what was paid for what and when, in line with the initial contract.

2. The initial proposition for the FibreSpeed network for both the original proposition from the start of the development of the project and also the fully developed proposition on which the tender was eventually issued.

3. The tender document.

4. Those who applied, specifically those who put in bids for the tender in order to compare what one was offering against another.

5. Information on any changes made to the FibreSpeed contract (following the initial contract to deliver the service between FibreSpeed/Geo/Zayo and the Welsh Government, were any amendments or exclusions made between that initial signing and now?). Specifically, how the contract between Hutchison/Geo and the Welsh Government has developed and any subsequent amendments to the original agreement and undertaking, for example, addition, removal or change of wording.

6. Information on the FibreSpeed benchmarking process and outcomes since the outset of the project, specifically: details of the process and how it works; what

areas are compared with where; is it always the same areas; who are they benchmarking against; is it wholesale, or retail; and if wholesale, at what tier.

I confirm the Welsh Government holds the information you have requested. For your first question, some of the information you have requested is already in the public domain, as follows: Information about EU funding for FibreSpeed is provided at: https://gov.wales/docs/wefo/publications/150407wefo-all-en.pdf Information about payments and payment dates is available at Annex C of the following previous FoI response: https://gov.wales/about/open-government/freedom-of-information/responses/2018/Apr18/atisn11914/?lang=en Other information we hold is provided at Annex 1 to this letter. We hold the following information in relation to your second question:

“Based upon the Broadband Wales Strategy 2005 to 2007 (published on 19th January 2005) the Broadband Wales FibreSpeed Project aims to meet the following objectives:

Deliver high-speed broadband services to strategic business parks and locations (where ‘high-speed’ is defined as a minimum of 10Mbit/s symmetric and capable of supporting Gbit/s requirements); and,

Ensure these services are available at affordable prices, benchmarked against London and South East of England.

Ensure that Wales has extensive geographic access to competitive wholesale infrastructure”

The tender document is given at Annex 2. I understand you already have a copy of the project agreement referred to in the tender document following its release under ATISN 11914. For your fourth question, I can advise that the companies who applied were: Geo; and Alcatel Lucent and Atkins. Your fifth request is being refused under Reg12(4)(b) of the EIRs, manifestly unreasonable for the reasons outlined at Annex 3. For your sixth question, I would refer you to Clause 13 of the 2007 contract, which I understand you already have a copy of following its release under ATISN 11914.

9. AWARD CRITERIA AND PROCESS

9.1 The Tender submission must be in relation to the solution which was discussed

and developed with the Government and its advisors during the dialogue.

9.2 The Tender submissions will be evaluated to determine the most economically

advantageous tender against the evaluation criteria set out in Appendix 1.

procedure and should not be raised in your Tender submission. The Tender must

contain as much detail as possible in relation to your Tender as set out in this

ISFT.

9.4 Bidders and their teams should be on standby to answer any questions or for

any meetings requested by the Government to clarify, specify or fine-tune their

Tender between Wednesday 20th June 2007 and Wednesday 27th June 2007.

9.5 Bidders are required to complete the Compliancy Matrix set out in Schedule 1

(Key Requirements) to Appendix 3 clearly indicating where in their Tenders the

relevant requirements of the Compliancy Matrix are satisfied. The Government

shall as a first phase of evaluation consider Bidders’ Tenders against the

Compliancy Matrix. The Government reserves the right to reject any Tender

which does not satisfy the Compliancy Matrix.

9.6 The Government intends to evaluate variations to each Bidder’s Project

Agreement set out at Appendix 3 against the base draft project agreement

issued to Bidders on 28th March 2007. The Government also intends to evaluate

changes proposed through the Project Agreement Variation mechanism set out

in Appendix 4. Any variations whether proposed in the dialogue phase or through

the Project Agreement Variation mechanism will be assessed against the

relevant evaluation criteria set out in Appendix 1 with scores being allocated to

the appropriate evaluation category.

9.7 The Government intends to evaluate any Supporting Documentation (see

Paragraph 7.1.4 and Appendix 5) submitted by Bidders. Supporting

Documentation will be assessed against the evaluation criteria set out in

VERSION 1.0

17/05/2007

Appendix 1 with scores being allocated to the appropriate evaluation category.

9.8 The Government wrote to Bidders on 17th April 2007 informing them that the

maximum total ERDF and Government core funds that are available for the

period from 1st April 2007 to 31st March 2009 is £25,000,000 (Twenty Five

Million Pounds Sterling). Bidders are encouraged to submit Tenders which are

below this affordability threshold and the Government reserves the right to

reject any Tender which exceeds this threshold.

10. AWARD OF PROJECT AGREEMENT

10.1 The Government may proceed to award of Project Agreement on the basis of the

Project Agreement incorporated in this ISFT (as amended through the Project

Agreement Variation mechanism in Appendix 4 and any clarifications) and the

most economically advantageous Tender response. In accordance with Appendix

4, only variations which are in the Government’s favour may be proposed as part

of a Bidder’s Tender.

10.2 Any award will be conditional on it being approved in accordance with the

Government’s internal administrative and financial approval procedures and the

Government being generally able to proceed.

10.3 Any award will be contingent on the satisfactory completion of a “standstill

period” of at least 10 calendar days in accordance with Regulation 32 of the

Regulations.

10.4 Bidders should note that the Competitive Dialogue procedure does not permit

any negotiation and Bidders should take account of this although the Authority

reserves the right to clarify, specify and fine tune as appropriate.

10.5 Acceptance by the successful Bidder shall be deemed to have occurred when the

Government posts formal notice of Project Agreement award to the successful

Bidder. The Government anticipates being able to award the Project Agreement

around 20th July 2007.

11. TIMETABLE

11.1 The timetable outlined below show the key tasks, milestones and deliverables

required to be met as part of this final tender process. Whilst the Government

intends to keep to these dates as far as is possible it reserves the right

to amend these dates at any time.

process and Bidders should also ensure they are aware of the dates where key

deliverables are required. Bidders are reminded of the Government’s right to

reject/disqualify as set out in Paragraph 15.

12. COMPLIANCE WITH LEGISLATION

State Aid

12.1 On 22nd February 2006 the European Commission endorsed the FibreSpeed

project Phase 1. The final decision letter is provided within the Data Room (the

“Decision Letter”). Bidders must ensure that their Tenders fully comply with

the requirements of the Decision Letter and the Government reserves the right

to disqualify any Bidder whose Tender does not comply with the requirements of

the Decision Letter. Additional Phases will require European Commission

approval for State Aid purposes and any additional sites for Phase 1 will also be

notified for approval for State Aid.

12.2 Bidders should also note that in order to comply with the European Commission’s

approval of Phase 1, it will be necessary to ensure that public funding for the

project as against total project costs is at the ISFT stage kept to the minimum

amount necessary to achieve the project objectives. As such, short-listed Bidders

will be required to provide with their tender proposal full details of private sector

funding which they propose to apply to the likely total projects costs. The

evaluation process in terms of each Bidder’s proposal will take into account the

level of private sector funding proposed to be leveraged into the project.

Regulatory

12.3 Bidders should ensure that they are compliant with the regulatory regime set out

in the Communications Act 2003, including in particular the “General Conditions”

and must satisfy themselves that they hold all necessary licences and consents.

General

12.4 Compliance with all relevant legislation is required both in the Project Agreement

award procedure and during the term of any resultant contract.

13. LEGAL NOTICES

Security

13.1 Where necessary and feasible, Bidders may be given access to Government staff

in order to obtain information, but such access will be provided solely at the

Government’s discretion.

13.2 Where the successful Bidder (if any) requires for its personnel, frequent and

uncontrolled access to the premises of the Government, or where such personnel

VERSION 1.0

17/05/2007

have access to restricted information, or proximity to public figures, then all such

personnel must satisfy the security requirements of the Government by

completing a security questionnaire. No Bidder personnel will be issued security

passes until they have obtained the required security clearance. Until then, they

will be issued with a temporary pass and will have to be escorted by a member

of staff each and every time they have access to the premises.

14. INSURANCE

14.1 The Government intends to evaluate the appropriateness of the insurance cover

proposed by Bidders and will require evidence of insurance from the Preferred

Bidder.

15. RIGHT TO REJECT/DISQUALIFY

15.1 The Government reserves the right to reject or disqualify a candidate and/or its

related providers being those referred to in part A6 of the Bidders response to

PQQ (“the Relevant Organisations”) for reasons including but not limited to:

15.1.1 The responses to the requirements of the ISFT are submitted late, are

completed incorrectly, are incomplete or fails to meet the

Government’s other submission requirements which have been notified

to Bidders

15.1.2 The Bidder and/or its Relevant Organisations are, at any stage during

the selection and evaluation process, unable to satisfy the terms in

Form 1 – Statement of Good Standing signed by the Bidder and its

Relevant Organisations and submitted as part of the PQQ

15.1.3 The Bidder and/or its Relevant Organisations are guilty of serious

misrepresentation in relation to its application and/or the process

15.1.4 There is a change in identity, control, financial standing or other factor

impacting on the selection and/or evaluation process affecting the

Bidder and/or its Relevant Organisations and/or its supply chain

partners.

16. RIGHT TO CANCEL OR VARY THE PROCESS

16.1 The Government reserves the right to:

16.1.1 Cancel the selection and evaluation process at any stage of this

procurement

16.1.2 Require a Bidder and/or its Relevant Organisations to clarify their

submission in writing and/or provide additional information. (Failure to

respond adequately may result in a Bidder being deselected)

VERSION 1.0

17/05/2007

16.1.3 Vary the timetable for the tendering procedures.

17. CONFIDENTIALITY

17.1 By receiving this ISFT, you agree to keep confidential any information contained

in it or sent with it or made available in connection with any further enquiries

about its subject matter (the “Information”). The Information may be made

available to a Bidder’s consortium members, employees and professional

advisers and/or financiers who are directly involved in the appraisal of such

Information and have each given an undertaking to keep such Information

confidential and not to, either in whole or in part, copy, reproduce, distribute or

otherwise make the Information available to any other parties in any

circumstances without the prior consent of the Government nor may it be used

for any purpose other than that for which it is intended. These requirements do

not apply to any Information which is or becomes publicly available or is shown

to have been properly obtained from a third party (in each case otherwise than

through a breach of confidentiality obligation).

17.2 All documentation supplied by the Government in relation to the ISFT is and

shall remain the property of the Government and must be returned upon

demand. Return postage will be refunded upon request.

17.3 The Government may disclose information relating to Bidders’ submissions to the

Government’s members, directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers and

the Government may make the key Project documents available for private

inspection by the Government’s members, directors, officers, employees, agents

or advisers.

17.4 The Government acknowledges that organisations engaged in the ISFT may have

concerns regarding the confidentiality of the ideas and solutions provided by

organisations and whether the commercial information which Bidders disclose

and technical and other solutions will be disclosed by the Government to other

Bidders. In this regard, the Government will ensure equality of treatment

amongst all Bidders and will not provide information in a discriminatory manner

which may give some Bidders an advantage over others.

17.5 Where a request for additional information is made by a Bidder and, in the

opinion of the Government, such information would be likely to be of material

interest to other Bidders, it shall be made available to all Bidders subject to any

duty of the Government to protect the commercial confidentiality of the Bidder

originally seeking the information. If Bidders do not want responses to individual

enquiries to be notified to all Bidders the relevant enquiry should be clearly

marked as commercially confidential. The Government will decide whether any

response to the enquiry would, for reasons of equal availability of information,

need to be notified to all Bidders. If this is the case, the Government will ask the

VERSION 1.0

17/05/2007

Bidder whether they wish to retract the enquiry. If the Bidder wishes to retract

the enquiry then the Government will not disclose the information to any Bidder

unless it receives a subsequent enquiry on the same point from a different

Bidder and that Bidder is content for the information to be made available to all

Bidders.

18. TENDER COSTS AND RISK

18.1 The Government reserves the right not to follow up this ISFT in any way and/or

to withdraw from the tender process at any time.

effort incurred by a Bidder in proceeding with or participating in this

procurement, including if the procurement process is terminated or amended by

the Government.

18.3 Unless and until a formal and unconditional Agreement has been signed, all

correspondence and discussions between the Government and each Bidder

responding to the ISFT will be “subject to contract”.

18.4 The Government may terminate discussions with any Bidder at any time.

19. AVAILABILITY OF INFORMATION/DUE DILIGENCE

19.1 Where the Government makes documents and information available to Bidders

in order to facilitate the tender process, it will notify Bidders of the arrangements

and conditions of such availability. Requests for information must be made via

the e-Tendering portal.

20. QUESTIONS

permission.

21.3 Bidders are expected to ensure that consortium members or sub-contractors are

given necessary information in relation to their roles within a Bidder’s solution

and where Bidders respond to the Government as part of the tender process,

such responses must be given in relation to all such members or sub-

contractors.

22. PREPARATION OF PROPOSALS

22.1 Bidders must obtain for themselves, at their own responsibility and expense, all

information necessary for the preparation of their response to this ISFT. Bidders

are required to complete and provide all information required by the Government

in accordance with the conditions and other instructions notified by the

Government. Failure to comply with these conditions may lead the Government

to reject a submission unless omissions have been previously agreed by the

Government in writing.

23. SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS

23.1 Formal pricing proposals unless otherwise advised must be submitted on the

basis that the financial detail they contain is valid for a minimum period of eight

months from the date fixed for their submission.

24. TENDER RESPONSES

24.1 Bidders will note the Government’s intention is, subject to receipt of acceptable

responses to this ISFT, to award a contract to a successful Bidder. The

Government may notify the successful Bidder of the basis on which their tender

has been accepted further to its terms and may withdraw a notification of

success from a Bidder who resiles from or alters its position on any such terms.

25. DISCLAIMERS

25.1 The Government reserves the right to:

or for any other reason.

26. FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

26.1 The Government is required to comply with the Freedom of Information Act 2000

(the “Act”) and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (“EIR”) which

impose on it a duty to respond to a request for information, and, subject to the

provisions of the Act and EIR, to disclose that information. If you consider that

any of the information to be submitted in your tender, should not be disclosed

because of its commercial sensitivity then this should be stated together with the

reason for considering it sensitive. The Government will then consult with you in

considering any request under the Act or under EIR relating to that information.

26.2 If, information submitted through this tender process is considered commercially

sensitive by the Relevant Organisation then details regarding such information

and the reasons why it is considered commercially sensitive should be outlined in

your tender.

27. DATA PROTECTION ACT

27.1 In this Clause the term Personal Data has the same meaning given in the Data

Protection Act 1998 (“the 1998 Act”) and “processed” and “process” shall be

construed in accordance with the 1998 Act.

27.2 The Bidder shall comply with the 1998 Act and any other applicable data

protection legislation. In particular the Bidder agrees to comply with the

27.2.1 to maintain technical and organisational security measures sufficient to

comply at least with the obligations imposed on the Government by

the Seventh Principle;

distress caused to that individual or other legal person as a result of the Bidder’s

unauthorised processing, unlawful processing, destruction of and/or damage to

any Personal Data processed by the Bidder, its employees or agents in the

Bidder’s actions in relation to this ISFT.

27.4 Both Parties agree to use all reasonable efforts to assist each other to comply

with the 1998 Act. For the avoidance of doubt, this includes the Bidder providing

the Government with reasonable assistance in complying with subject access

requests served on the Government under Section 7 of the 1998 Act and the

Bidder consulting with the Government prior to the disclosure by the Bidder of

any Personal Data in relation to such requests.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

Bidders are referred to Paragraphs 9, 10, 12 and 14 of the ISFT for further instructions in

relation to the evaluation criteria. All criteria will be evaluated in accordance with the

classification below and the relevant weightings will be applied (see example below).

Quality of Operational Plan 25%

Quality of Partnership Proposal 20%

Quality of Technical Proposal 15%

Deliverability of Implementation/Roll-out Schedule 15%

Total 100%

SCORE CLASSIFICATION

0 Unacceptable

1 Poor – below expectations

2 Slightly below expectations

3 Satisfactory – meets expectations

4 Good – above expectations

5 Very Good

(*) In assessing the Quality of the Financial Proposal the following financial elements

will be evaluated comparatively with those from other Bidders:

contribution to capital expenditure required from the Government;

the operational cost support required from the Government;

the level of reverse payment back to the Government;

VERSION 1.0

17/05/2007

the management and apportionment of planning and construction risk;

the cost to the Government of the Reduced Financial Business Plan;

the level of Bidder investment commitment bid including revenue

underpinning;

others as appropriate.

In performing the comparative evaluation of bids, for each element, those bids

indicating a more favourable outcome for the Government, broadly minimising

cost, optimising risk allocation and maximising reverse payments, will obtain a

higher percentage of the available marks for the comparative element of the

evaluation.

In each case where a comparative evaluation is undertaken the outcome of the

comparative valuation will be considered along with the qualitative elements of

that element and a score between 0 and 5 will be assigned to that element of the

bid.

APPENDIX 6

VARIATION AND BENCHMARKING OF WHOLESALE PRICES

Variation of wholesale prices

FibreSpeed’s wholesale prices can be varied in two ways:

to enable prices to meet the Government’s pricing objectives for the Project; and

through the introduction of time-limited promotions – e.g. to promote take-up in the initial

period following commercial launch, or to stimulate take-up of a new product or service

Non-promotional price changes will be guided by price benchmarking (see below) and agreed by the FibreSpeed Project Board. Promotional prices will also be agreed by the Government through its participation in the Project Board.

Benchmarking of wholesale prices

Wholesale price benchmarking will be undertaken to determine whether FibreSpeed’s prices are similar to those in the benchmark locations (London and the South East of England), and to guide any required price changes.

The benchmarking will cover the minimum product set offered by FibreSpeed. It is anticipated that the benchmarking methodology will consider a range of comparable products from a number of operators in the benchmark locations. It is also anticipated that a ‘basket’ approach will be adopted where possible, i.e. where products exhibit similar characteristics and cost components. In this case, the price benchmark

will establish how the price of FibreSpeed’s basket of products should change rather than each individual price within the basket. There may be several baskets, and these may change over time in response to market developments. Promotions will not be included in the benchmarking but may act as a guide to inform where promotional prices should be set. The benchmarking may consider individual price components, or a combined ‘effective’ price, e.g. relating to total cost of ownership over a pre-determined time period, or equivalent annual cost. Due consideration will be given to certain cost components (e.g. distance dependency) to ensure that the benchmarking is meaningful. It is anticipated that price changes will only be required when the differences between FibreSpeed’s pricing and benchmarks exceeds a specified tolerance of plus or minus [10%]. The period of benchmarking will be as follows:

every 3 months in the first year following the launch of commercial services on the FibreSpeed

network

every 6 months in the second year

annually thereafter.

It is anticipated that an independent expert will undertake the price benchmarking activity who

will make recommendations to the FibreSpeed Project Board for any price changes. The Government acknowledges that prices in the City of London alone may not be representative of prices in other major UK metropolitan areas and this will be taken into account in the benchmarking.

The Government also acknowledges that there will be a trade-off between the benefits of lower prices (potentially higher take-up) and higher prices (potentially higher revenues and hence improved business case). It will be for the Project Board to determine how this trade-off is best managed.

ANNEX 3

CONSIDERATION OF EIR EXCEPTIONS

Regulation 12(4)(b) 1 of the Environmental Information Regulations does not oblige a public authority to release information where the request is ‘manifestly unreasonable’. The Regulation states: 12(4) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(a), a public authority may refuse to disclose information to the extent that – (b) the request for information is manifestly unreasonable This means that Reg 12(4)(b) can apply if the cost or burden of dealing with a request is too great, as confirmed in the Upper Tribunal case of Craven v The Information Commissioner and the Department of Energy and Climate Change [2012] UKUT442 (AAC): “Taking the position under the EIR first, it must be right that a public authority is entitled to refuse a single extremely burdensome request under regulation 12(4)(b) as “manifestly unreasonable”, purely on the basis that the cost of compliance would be too great (assuming, of course, it is also satisfied that the public interest test favours maintaining the exception). The absence of any provision in the EIR equivalent to section 12 of FOIA makes such a conclusion inescapable.” As explained in my letter to you of 12 July, in response to your request reference ATISN 12439, the Welsh Government does not hold in one place a database listing all amendments made to the original and subsequent contracts, meaning that I would need to review 1200 pages of information to highlight any amendments made and then give consideration as to whether or not that information can be released into the public domain. There are a number of amendments since 2007 I would need to identify and consider. Reviewing the considerable amount of detailed and complex information to determine what amendments have been made and whether or not it can then be placed into the public domain will involve a significant cost and unreasonable diversion of resources from the Division’s other work. The cost of dealing with your request is based on a standard rate of £25.00 per working hour, as set out in the Freedom of Information and Data Protection (Appropriate Limit and Fees) Regulations 2004. Based on a Freedom of Information request for the 2007 contract earlier in the year, I have estimated it would take me approximately 40 hours of my time to go through each page, clause by clause, to determine what amendments have been made since the original agreement and undertaking including addition, removal or change of wording and then determine whether the information can be released into the public domain. Additional time would need to be taken to consult with and consider the views of the affected third party on those parts of the contracts. I estimate that liaising with third parties, compiling the information and checking it prior to release would take me a further 15 to 20 hours. Not only would this work take me away from my core work, it would also mean diverting other members of staff away from their current duties in order for me to undertake this task.

https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisations/documents/1615/manifestly-unreasonable-requests.pdf

I am therefore refusing your request under Reg12(4)(b) of the EIRs, manifestly unreasonable. In doing so, I have given consideration to the public interest in disclosing the information. The Welsh Government recognises the general public interest in openness and transparency and that releasing the information would help the public gain a better understanding of the requirements placed upon FibreSpeed Ltd. to deliver fibre network capacity to support the connectivity needs of Welsh businesses and the wider public. The Welsh Government also recognises the public has an interest in how their money is to be, or has been, used to ensure Government gets the best value from the public purse. However, the Welsh Government considers the balance of the public interest lies in favour of refusing your request. This is because it is believed your request would place a substantial and unreasonable burden on Welsh Government resources which are already stretched and on balance, it is considered the public interest would be better served deploying our resources in undertaking core work. As part of these considerations we have applied the statutory presumption in favour of disclosure under Reg12(2) of the Regulations but our view remains that the significant burden that this request would impose outweighs the public interest in releasing this information. FibreSpeed helps to ensure a competitive environment for high speed and high capacity fibre network services in the region. Any harm to FibreSpeed would be likely to prejudice this and lead to higher prices for connectivity for businesses, potentially harming their profitability. The Welsh Government is of the view that the amount of information already in the public domain satisfies the public interest in this regard, such as its response to ATISN 11914. Whilst highlighting amendments made in the very complex and detailed information contained in the contracts may be of interest to competitors of FibreSpeed Ltd., I do not believe there is any wider public interest in the Welsh Government expending a significant amount of its stretched resources in order to place such complex and detailed information into the public domain. The public will be assured that the Welsh Government monitors the performance of FibreSpeed Ltd.
