This programme aims to build gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in areas of the UK with limited commercial investment prospects. The contract, valued at £16,560,000 GBP, was awarded to Connect Fibre (Fibre Assets Ltd). The procurement method used was selective, with a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period spans from November 1st, 2023, to February 10th, 2026, with a tender end date of July 7th, 2023. This awarded contract provides an opportunity for businesses in the communications equipment, network infrastructure, and telecommunications sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can take advantage of this contract. The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme aims to create long-term availability of wholesale gigabit broadband services, stimulating growth in the communications sector. Businesses offering installation, maintenance, and construction services related to telecommunications will find this tender suitable for expansion and development. ## Notice The Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme, part of Project Gigabit, 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) 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 contract is for the North-East Staffordshire intervention area. Some documents that form part of this contract have not been included within the published document set as their entire contents are commercially sensitive. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/2255574c-32e9-4ee5-82d8-b95a081a68d3 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Call-off from a dynamic purchasing system | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 29 Nov 2023 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jul 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 1 Nov 2023 | | Contract period | 1 Nov 2023 -
