## Summary

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) is initiating a tender process for the GIS Programme - Regional Supplier Contract in South Yorkshire.

## Notice

BDUK intends to award a number of Regional Supplier Contracts over the life of the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme. The UK Government has confirmed that approximately PS5 billion will be allocated to target the final 20% (f20), the hardest to reach parts of the UK. BDUK will be targeting its market intervention in these areas of the UK via a programme to subsidise the design, build and operation of gigabit-capable Supplier networks providing long-term, sustainable availability of wholesale gigabit broadband services in the hardest to reach parts of the UK. The Regional Supplier Contracts are intended to be for larger numbers of premises than those covered under contracts placed under the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Dynamic Purchasing System: https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/013574-2021 . The focus of the Regional Supplier Contracts is to target the build of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in the final 20% (f20) of the country that is not commercially viable for the market to design, build and operate without government intervention. This procurement is for the award of Regional Supplier Contract - South Yorkshire. This covers the geographic area of South Yorkshire. It concerns the delivery of a gigabit-capable network for an estimated total number of 32,416 premises. BDUK intends to make available PS44,400,000 of public funding available for this contract. The estimated total number of premises indicated above comprises an Initial Scope for specified premises and a deferred list of premises ("Deferred Scope") for further specified premises. The Deferred Scope will be authorised by BDUK after the contract's Effective Date in accordance with Clause 6 (Deferred Scope Authorisation) of the Regional Supplier Contract Terms and Conditions . The number of premises in the Deferred Scope may be subject to amendment prior to authorisation, in particular as a result of further reviews of the commercial viability of the premises.
