The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) is looking for a joint venture (JV) partner for the “commercialization” of information and communications technology (ICT) facilities in New Clark City (NCC), which will also handle the expansion, repair and maintenance of the infrastructure.
“The BCDA is inviting prospective bidders to submit pre-qualification requirements and bid for the disposition of its passive ICT Infrastructure,” BCDA said in a statement on Tuesday.
BCDA President and Chief Executive Officer Joshua M. Bingcang underscored that this is a crucial step as the state-owned firm is now moving forward with the development of ICT infrastructure, which se said “will not only address the needs of our locators, but also set up the foundation for smart city development and e-governance in New Clark City.”
“This will allow telecommunication companies and data transmission providers to connect and service residences, offices, institutions, and data centers in the new metropolis,” BCDA said. The joint venture shall also establish a “meet-me room” or neutral hosting site through which active service providers can patch into the network, BCDA said.
BCDA said the bidding shall follow a two-stage process. In the first stage, prospective bidders shall undergo a pre-qualification process based on their legal, technical, and financial capability requirements.
