  21. RedIRIS-NOVA : the dark fiber project 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 Competitive Dialog with 23 companies Phase 1: start operation • 12.000Km dark fiber • 2.000Km submarine cables • Cross border fiberwth Portugal • Long-term IRU network • 21 years for the peninsula and • 30 years for Canary Islands • Much more bandwidth and more services possibilities • 80x10G, 60x40G ó 100G (terrestrial links) • 128x10G (submarine links) • Cost 104 M€ (49M€ FEDER) • Save over 50M€ over the previous model

  22. Competitive dialogue for RedIRIS-NOVA • Pioneers (first case in the Spanish Administration – in a tender of up to 138M€, with very tight schedule, for a complex contract requiring services not yet available as such “off-the-shelf” in the market) • Preceded by Request for Information (RFI) • Competitive Dialogue announced at the EU Official Journal • 25 bidders – 2 bids were rejected, 23 bidders (9 fiber providers, 14 optical equipment providers) invited to participate • Accepted bidders could eventually reach agreements for joint bids • Four rounds of negotiation took place • making it possible to ensure that RedIRIS requested high performance solutions at affordable prices, which could be provided by enough companies to ensure adequate competition • The competitive dialogue had finally three different lots: • one for dark fiber in mainland Spain, • one for dark fiber for the Canary islands, • one for optical equipment • Final result was very positive as regards both technical parameters and price

  23. Competitive dialogue: Need to find a balance Best service More time to look for the best solution Work with many potential providers Include more compulsory requirements Increase number of bidders Make procedure as short as possible for bidders Minimize bid management effort and costs Cheapest price 23

  24. Fiber Tender Results ... • Islalink fiber as Canary Islands supplier • Telefónica as peninsula fiber supplier
