## Summary

The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme Regional Supplier Contract in the North East, initiated by Building Digital UK (BDUK, part of DCMS) aims to deliver a gigabit-capable network covering approximately 61,846 premises. The procurement method is selective with a restricted procedure above threshold. The tender period ends on 17th February 2022, and the contract period starts on 14th November 2022 and ends on 13th November 2037.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the telecommunications industry to compete for the delivery of gigabit-capable infrastructure services in the North East region. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to participate in this procurement process. With a contract period spanning up to 15 years, successful bidders can contribute to the long-term availability of wholesale gigabit broadband services in hard-to-reach areas of the UK, supporting the government's goal of enhancing digital connectivity.

## Notice

Following the Opportunity Notice published on 18th January 2022 the decision has been made not to award the procurement and the process has now been concluded. BDUK was not able to conclude a contract after the procurement and evaluation process. BDUK decided that it was imperative to move forward with the delivery of gigabit-capable broadband in the North East and therefore has abandoned this procurement. The original opportunity description is below: This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the North East region. This is part of the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme. 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, part 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. This procurement is for delivery of a gigabit-capable network in North East which is aimed at covering approximately 61,846 of premises.
