Notice Information

Notice Title

Superfast Essex Phase 4a

Notice Description

Essex County Council sought to appoint one or several partners to deliver Phase 4a (Phase 4, Tranche 1) of its Superfast Essex broadband programme. Superfast Essex is part of the UK national broadband initiative overseen by DCMS. ECC has successfully completed its Phase 1 roll-out and is currently implementing Phases 2 and 3. Using a mixture of project implementation savings from previous phases, subsidy clawback from existing delivery contracts, new funding from Essex districts and new grant funding, Phase 4 aims to: (a)ensure more than 99% of all fixed addresses in the county have access to superfast broadband; (b)complete the roll-out by December 2021; (c)make effective use of project savings and external funding sources to avoid the need for new ECC capital funding. This procurement was split into 3 lots comprising Epping Forest District, Basildon District and Braintree District.
