The procurement aimed to deliver a gigabit-capable network in Worcestershire, covering approximately 18,469 premises. The procurement method was a selective procedure, with a contract period extending from September 13, 2023, to September 12, 2030. The tender period ended on November 9, 2022. This abandoned tender presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in telecommunications services and related equipment to potentially engage in future similar projects within the region. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are deemed suitable for participation. The procurement was tailored to support the build of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure for regions unlikely to attract commercial investment, with a focus on providing long-term, sustainable broadband services in hard-to-reach areas. ## Notice Following the Opportunity Notice published on 6th October 2022 the decision has been made not to award the procurement and the process has now been concluded. BDUK was not able to conclude a contract after the procurement and evaluation process. BDUK decided that it was imperative to move forward with the delivery of gigabit-capable broadband in the Worcestershire region and therefore has abandoned this procurement. The original opportunity description is below: This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the Worcestershire 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 Worcestershire which is aimed at covering approximately 18,469 of premises.
