Avonline Networks, a specialist provider of telecom network build and installation services, and a part of M Group Services, has been appointed by Virgin Media as a key delivery partner on its next-generation fibre network roll-out in the UK.
Under the terms of the regional build contract, Avonline Networks will deliver expansion and maintenance works on Virgin Media’s gigabit-capable network across the North East and South West and Wales regions.
The five-year contract has an estimated value of £25m per annum and includes an option to extend by a further two years. The scope of works includes around the clock civils, cabling and enablement works including emergency restoration services.
Virgin Media’s reformed partnership model will be implemented from April 2020 with partners delivering a variety of civil engineering works to support the company’s fibre roll-out reach to homes and businesses including new builds and apartment blocks. The new transparent model is designed to provide more integrated relationships with partners and deliver a host of benefits for both parties.
