Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is overseeing the procurement process for the "GIS Programme - Regional Supplier Contract - Derbyshire" as part of the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme. This initiative targets the deployment of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructures in regions of the UK that are unlikely to draw in commercial investment within a sensible timeframe. The project focuses on the telecommunications services industry, within Derbyshire, and is an ongoing award stage scheduled to run from 13 December 2023 to 28 February 2035. The procurement method follows a restricted procedure under legal basis 32014L0025. The contract, valued at £34,647,455, is intended to enhance digital infrastructure and is expected to last for up to nine years.

The tender provides a solid opportunity for SMEs focused on telecommunications services, particularly those capable of designing, building, and operating gigabit networks. The chosen supplier, Fibre Assets Ltd (T/A Connect Fibre), reflects the opportunity for businesses seeking substantial growth within the infrastructure development segment. This subsidy-backed programme not only provides opportunities for expanding a company's client base and geographical footprint, but it also encourages the establishment of sustainable digital services aimed at bridging the digital divide in the UK's hardest-to-reach locations. The project's vision for long-term market intervention aligns with companies interested in leveraging government-backed funding to extend their service offerings.
