## Summary

This public procurement process focuses on the award of a Call-Off contract under the Cross-Regional Supplier Framework as part of the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme. Managed by Building Digital UK (BDUK), a part of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), this programme aims to enhance gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure across the UK, targeting areas with limited commercial investment. The contract, valued at £37,514,646, pertains to telecommunications services in the North West region, specifically Cheshire, and operates from 31st March 2026 to 30th September 2037. This stage marks the award phase, having been completed on 26th February 2026, with British Telecommunications plc securing the contract through a selective procurement method as a Call-Off from a framework agreement.

The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme represents a significant opportunity for large telecommunications companies to engage in long-term infrastructure projects across the UK. With the focus on building sustainable gigabit-capable networks in areas unlikely to receive private investment, businesses specialising in telecommunications and network construction are ideal candidates for such projects. While this contract may not directly suit small or voluntary sector enterprises, larger firms with experience in delivering complex network services can expand their portfolios and contribute to the development of broadband services in hard-to-reach regions of the UK. This strategic initiative, supported by government intervention, provides companies with a platform for substantial growth in the telecommunications sector.

## 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 the Cheshire region. Some documents that form part of this contract have not been included within the published document set as their entire contents are commercially sensitive.
