## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is managing a procurement process for the "Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme - Regional Supplier Contract - Hampshire" aimed at enhancing telecommunications services in Hampshire, UK. The contract, worth £71,743,363 GBP, involves the construction of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in regions unlikely to see commercial investment. This programme targets the UK's final 20% of regions with minimal broadband infrastructure, aiming to provide long-term, wholesale gigabit broadband access. Running from June 2023 to June 2037, the contract process follows a restricted procedure for selecting suppliers.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the telecommunications sector, particularly those with expertise in network construction and broadband infrastructure. Companies with capabilities in designing, building, and managing telecommunications infrastructure will find this an advantageous opportunity for growth, particularly in rural areas of the UK. The contract underlines a commitment to bridging the digital divide, supported by substantial public funding to enable sustainable services. Large-scale suppliers like CityFibre Limited have been involved, but the process encourages participation from other compatible enterprise-scale suppliers who can meet the tender's quality and price criteria.

## Notice

This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the Hampshire 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.
