Summary of the contracting process

On 2 June 2026, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) awarded a significant contract to Gigaclear Limited under the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme. This contract focuses on developing regional supplier contracts for telecommunications services in South Oxfordshire, classified under the CPV category of telecommunications services (CPV: 64200000). The programme aims to build gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in areas of the UK that lack commercial investment. The contract, which will last from 13 November 2023 to 30 November 2033, was awarded at a final value of £14,968,896 GBP, following an amendment that updated the contract's value and scope.

The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme is designed to incentivize business growth by targeting underserved regions with broadband infrastructure subsidies. This initiative is particularly beneficial for large telecommunications providers capable of delivering long-term, wholesale broadband services in challenging locales. Businesses situated in the telecommunication services sector that can design, build and manage such infrastructure in rural and remote areas are encouraged to participate, providing them with opportunities to expand their operations and market reach. This tender supports not only business growth but also regional connectivity and innovation in telecommunications across the UK.

Notice Title

GIS Programme - Regional Supplier Contract - Oxfordshire 13.01

Notice Description

Deployment of infrastructure that will facilitate access to gigabit capable internet connections to premises which are not expected to be otherwise covered by suppliers' commercial plans. This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the Borders and East Lothian area. This is part of the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy scheme.

Lot Information

Lot 1

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, an Executive agency 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.
