Fibre-Optic Roll-Out — Public Tenders
Fibre-optic roll-out is one of the largest infrastructure programmes in Germany. The federal government, the federal states and municipalities are investing massively in the build-out of broadband networks, in particular in underserved rural areas. Public tenders cover civil-engineering works, ducting installation, fibre-optic installation and the operation of the networks. Federal funding programmes (e.g. the Gigabit Directive) further drive procurement volumes.
Typical tenders in fibre-optic roll-out
- Civil-engineering works and the laying of fibre-optic cables in a rural district
- Construction of an FTTH (Fibre to the Home) network in a funded roll-out area
- Planning and construction supervision for the municipal fibre-optic roll-out
- Supply and installation of fibre-optic distribution equipment
- Framework agreement for splicing works and fibre-optic measurements
- Operation and maintenance of a municipal fibre-optic network

Challenges in finding tenders
Fibre-optic tenders are titled very differently depending on the contracting authority: "broadband roll-out", "FTTH roll-out", "fibre-optic connection", "telecommunications infrastructure", "ducting installation" or "civil-engineering works for broadband network". Some tenders are classified primarily as civil-engineering works and appear under construction CPV codes, even though they are highly relevant for fibre-optic companies.
The combination of civil engineering, telecommunications and IT infrastructure makes a targeted search particularly demanding. Funding-related tenders are also subject to specific procurement rules.
