Sure Falkland Islands’ Intelsat satellite dishes in Stanley
With the Sure Falkland Islands Exclusive Telecommunications Agreement ending on December 29th 2027, the Falkland Islands Government (FIG) has issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT) document in June 2024 entitled: “Invitation to Tender for the Provision of Telecommunications Consultancy Services”. The closing date was the 30th of July 2024.
“This tender seeks a telecommunications consultancy to lead work on engaging with all users on future needs, providing advice to FIG on its options and possible routes for future provision, and supporting international market engagement for replacement of the existing arrangements.”
Many responses were received for the ITT, and a subset was chosen for an oral interview in September 2024. After due consideration by the team at FIG’s Development and Commercial Services department, Cambridge Management Consulting were selected.
FIG’s press release announcing the selection can be seen below.
An interview with Brian Jamieson, MLA Roger Spink and Chris Gare followed the final Starlink Select Committee and views about selecting Cambridge MC as the telecommunications consultancy. Many thanks to Falkland Islands TV for permission to publish this interview.
