Lot Information

Lot 1

Orkney Islands Council wishes to develop a community wide digital strategy that will lead to the delivery of a sustainable gigabit capable network across all of Orkney's inhabited islands. The last few years have seen considerable efforts undertaken to improve connectivity in Orkney, ensuring that the benefits of high-speed broadband and mobile services are delivered to local residents, businesses and organisations. Given the challenges of living and working in a rural area, delivering improved connectivity across Orkney is already a high priority for the Council, to mitigate against the effects of distance and isolation, to allow businesses and the public sector to modernise, and to deliver improved quality of living including improved opportunities for remote learning and employment for residents.
