Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme - Regional Supplier Contract in Worcestershire has been abandoned by Building Digital UK (BDUK, part of DCMS).

Notice Title

Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme - Regional Supplier Contract - Worcestershire - ABANDONED

Notice Description

Following the Opportunity Notice published on 6th October 2022 the decision has been made not to award the procurement and the process has now been concluded. BDUK was not able to conclude a contract after the procurement and evaluation process. BDUK decided that it was imperative to move forward with the delivery of gigabit-capable broadband in the Worcestershire region and therefore has abandoned this procurement. The original opportunity description is below: This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the Worcestershire region. This is part of the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme. The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme is a government programme aimed to support the build of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in the areas of the UK which are unlikely to attract commercial investment for gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure within a reasonable timeframe, if at all, referred to as the final 20% (f20). Building Digital UK (BDUK, part of DCMS) will be targeting its market intervention in these areas of the UK via this subsidy award programme, to subsidise the build of gigabit-capable networks providing long-term, sustainable availability of wholesale gigabit broadband services in the hardest to reach parts of the UK. The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme builds on the success of existing programmes being delivered by BDUK to deliver gigabit-capable networks across the UK. It is envisaged this programme will last for up to 9 years and award contracts throughout that period. This procurement is for delivery of a gigabit-capable network in Worcestershire which is aimed at covering approximately 18,469 of premises.
