## Summary

The procurement process for the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme in Norfolk, initiated by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), aims to subsidise the development of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in the UK regions unlikely to receive commercial investment. This programme is categorised under telecommunications services and spans a contract period from June 2023 to September 2035. The procurement stage has progressed to the contract award and update phase, with CityFibre Limited as the supplier. The tender, valued at £61.9 million, involves implementing a government programme to support the construction of broadband infrastructure catering to areas recognised as the final 20% in terms of reachability. The regional supplier contract is projected to endure up to nine years, marking its initiation on 23rd June 2023.

For businesses in telecommunications services, this project offers a unique opportunity for growth by engaging in building sustainable broadband networks. Companies with substantial experience in large-scale infrastructure projects, especially those versed in deploying gigabit networks, stand to benefit significantly. As the initiative focuses on the harder-to-reach areas of the UK, participating organisations could play a critical role in enhancing digital accessibility while tapping into government-subsidised projects. This contract not only offers economic prospects through its long-term duration and substantial funding but also allows businesses to expand their service portfolios and solidify their presence in under-served regions.

## Notice
