## Summary

The procurement process for the GIS Programme - Cross-Regional Supplier Framework (Type C) Call-Off 6 has been completed by the buying organisation Building Digital UK (BDUK), a part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). This initiative falls under the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme, aimed at enhancing gigabit broadband infrastructure across multiple regions in the UK, especially in areas less likely to secure commercial investment. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with the contract awarded to British Telecommunications plc. The contract period commences from 15th April 2025 and will conclude on 30th September 2037, covering services within the telecommunications industry, specifically in Scotland. The procurement method used was selective, involving a call-off from an existing framework agreement, and the total contract value is £157,105,290.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for growth within the telecommunications sector, particularly for large enterprises capable of delivering gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure. While the current contract is awarded to a large supplier, businesses involved in related telecommunications services can anticipate future opportunities for subcontracting or similar forthcoming tenders. The duration and scale of the programme indicate ongoing demand for cutting-edge telecommunications infrastructure solutions, positioning well-established companies to expand their portfolio and capture long-term revenue within the upgrading of the UK’s digital networks. Businesses that can provide innovative solutions for infrastructure development or those that can offer complementary technologies will find substantial opportunities as the programme continues to progress.

## Notice

This notice is for the award of a Call-Off contract under the Cross-Regional Supplier Framework for multiple regions within the United Kingdom (UK). 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 DSIT) 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 Call-Off covers: Scotland. Some documents that form part of this contract have not been included within the published document set as their entire contents are commercially sensitive.
