Lot — bid on it if it fits
This contract has one lot. Bid if it suits your firm.
The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy scheme forms part of Project Gigabit. Project Gigabit is a UK Government funded programme aimed at supporting the build of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in areas of the UK which are unlikely to attract commercial investment within a reasonable timeframe, if at all (referred to as the final 20% (f20)).
Building Digital UK (BDUK) is an executive agency of the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology. BDUK is targeting market interventions in f20 areas of the UK through the award of subsidised contracts to support the build of gigabit-capable networks providing long-term, sustainable wholesale gigabit broadband infrastructure in the hardest to reach parts of the UK.
As part of Project Gigabit, the Scottish Government is working with BDUK to deliver contracts to suppliers delivering gigabit-capable wholesale infrastructure in Scotland. This procurement approach is a successor to the Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programme and will work in parallel with the Scottish Government’s current Reaching 100% (R100) programme.
The Regional Supplier Contracts are intended to be for larger numbers of premises than those covered under contracts placed under the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Dynamic Purchasing System. This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the geographic area of Fife, Perth and Kinross. It concerns the delivery of a gigabit-capable network for an estimated total number of 17,830 premises.
The contract will remain in force for approximately 11 years comprising a build period of approximately 4 years, followed by an operational period of at least seven years. It is the intention that the build period will be completed by the end of 2030.
The provision of subsidy will be provided in accordance with the UK subsidy control regime.
