"description": "The Swansea Bay City Deal's Digital Infrastructure Programme is a formally constituted partnership between four local authorities - Neath Port Talbot, Swansea, Carmarthenshire & Pembrokeshire, two regional health boards - Hywel Dda University Health Board and Swansea Bay University Health Board and two universities - University of Wales Trinity Saint David & Swansea University. The programme's aspirations are: Better broadband for everyone... leaving nobody behind. A smart region ready and able to innovate and adopt emerging technology. An inclusive digital landscape that meets everyone's needs. As part of the programmes Rural workstream, we are currently scoping a potential infill project to support these aspirations and meet the following objectives: Address poor connectivity in areas where market failure persists in a pragmatic, timely and effective manner to ensure residents and businesses aren't left behind. Facilitate the market to deliver against their own commercial plans. Accelerating rollout of broadband infrastructure in the Swansea Bay City Region. Complement and support delivery of existing and planned UK and Welsh Government interventions. We are seeking a commercial partner(s) to provide a minimum superfast, ideally ultrafast connection to premises in the Swansea Bay City Region that currently have poor broadband (<30mbps) and meet the following criteria: White premises - Speed < 30mbps Not in commercial plans as defined by OMR. Not part of Project Gigabit or existing voucher scheme We have used multiple datasets from Ofcom, Welsh, and UK Government, to identify the potential intervention area. Initial analysis has identified eligible residential and business premises in both rural and urban locations. See map for an overview of the locations. The number of premises potentially in scope for this procurement will be discussed during market engagement. This information is subject to change prior to going out to tender. Requirements High level overview of requirements*: New connection must offer affordable broadband packages for residents and businesses. New connection must be available to the premise to request a service for a minimum of 12 years at no additional cost to the resident/business. Technology agnostic but the solution must provide a minimum superfast connection, ideally ultrafast. FTTP is preferable. Other solutions will only be considered where it is evident that FTTP is not a viable option. *This is subject to change. We will refine the specification following market engagement, and we invite suppliers to contribute their ideas to help us shape this project. We are considering lotting the project into the following geographic areas. However, we are open to alternative approaches, and this will be discussed during market engagement.
