Dialogic has developed innovative tools for the efficient procurement of complex infrastructure, such as a fibre optic network. By calculating the entire market offering with a smart algorithm, an optimal choice can be made. Dialogic has already successfully applied this method at some major Dutch electricity grid operators, including TenneT.
Various requirements come into play when tendering fibre optic networks. In addition to considering 'dark fibre' connections from the market, there is often existing infrastructure to take into account, and self-realisation is an option to consider. However, decisions are often made without considering these features, leading to significantly higher costs by assigning the infrastructure realisation to a single party. Dialogic's tools help in making an optimal selection from the offerings and also compare different ways to proceed with the awarding process. With a growing number of offers, the number of possible combinations increases exponentially.
Dialogic has successfully applied its method for tendering fibre optic networks several times. For instance, the method was recently used in a tender for a nationwide network by TenneT TSO, the operator of the high-voltage grid in the Netherlands. Dialogic was involved in the preliminary stages of the tender and the analysis of the tender data.
With years of experience in broadband and telecom, Dialogic combines technical expertise with market knowledge and strategy. The company has the capability to address various sub-issues, such as estimating costs for last-mile realisation and determining the geographical separation of connections. The tendering method, which can also be applied to various other types of tenders involving interdependencies, is a combination of these tools and sound advice.
