## Summary

The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Regional Supplier Contract in Cambridgeshire is currently being executed by Building Digital UK (BDUK, part of DCMS). This procurement, part of a larger government programme to enhance gigabit-capable broadband in underserved areas, covers the installation of advanced communications infrastructure. The tender period ends on 10 February 2022, while the contract itself will start from 15 November 2022 and last until 14 November 2037, with a total budget of £68,646,000. This contract falls under the services category, specifically concerning communication cable with coaxial conductors and associated installation services.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications, network infrastructure, and related services, particularly those that are Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Companies with expertise in the installation and maintenance of broadband infrastructure, optical fibres, and communications equipment will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Furthermore, as this initiative aims to bridge the digital divide, it presents compelling avenues for growth in regions that are less likely to attract commercial investments in broadband services.

## Notice

This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the Cambridgeshire and adjacent areas 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 Cambridgeshire and adjacent areas which is aimed at covering approximately 49,714 of premises.
