The contract was awarded to Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership, and the period of the contract is from 1st February 2023 to 31st March 2026. Businesses involved in software programming and consultancy services, particularly those in the South West region of the United Kingdom, could benefit from this opportunity. The project aims to enhance digital skills, innovation, and learning in Boscombe, ultimately contributing to the regeneration of the area. Being an open procedure, it offers a chance for SMEs to participate and contribute to the digital and creative technology ecosystem in the region.

Digital skills, innovation and learning, built on a leading-edge digital connectivity foundation, lies at the heart of Boscombe's success as a regenerated area, creating a digital and creative technology ecosystem to enable a much brighter future for all local residents and businesses. Igniting the aspirations of local residents, young and old, and local businesses, start-ups and established, for digital skills, innovation and learning, will feed the fire for Boscombe's wide regeneration aspirations.
