Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology pertains to the GIS Programme – Regional Supplier Contract in West and parts of North Yorkshire. This project falls under the industry category of telecommunications services and aims to support the construction of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in areas prone to lack of commercial investment. The contract was awarded to Quickline Communications Ltd and will span from 16 February 2024 to 31 December 2033, involving a total value of £65,470,012. The procurement has progressed to the award stage, with significant amendments made to scale up the project scope since originally signed. Various modifications have increased its value and expanded the number of premises covered, maintaining an active contract status.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses within the telecommunications sector, particularly those equipped to extend gigabit infrastructure to challenging, underserved regions. Companies specialising in the deployment of broadband networks could significantly benefit from such contracts, given the sustained funding and long-term support promoted by this government initiative. The procurement follows a selective, restricted procedure, ideal for established enterprises capable of adhering to the UK subsidy control regime. The project, aiming to reach approximately 28,952 premises, underscores the potential growth avenues for businesses that align with government efforts to enhance digital connectivity.
