## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has initiated a procurement process for the "GIS Programme - Regional Supplier Contract - Derbyshire" under the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme. This contract aims to enhance the telecommunications services category by developing gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in Derbyshire, specifically targeting areas unlikely to attract commercial investment. The procurement is currently in the award update and contract update stages, with a notable date of 9th June 2026 reflecting its latest development. The main procurement method employed is a selective restricted procedure, and it encompasses an initial contract period from 13th December 2023 to 28th February 2035. This ambitious programme targets the final 20% of the UK, seeking to deliver two-way communication services to the most challenging locations.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises specialising in telecommunications services to expand their business through government-funded projects. Companies with the capabilities to design, build, and operate gigabit-capable networks will find this contract attractive due to its substantial budget and the long-term nature of the engagement. The awarded contract to Fibre Assets Ltd (trading as Connect Fibre) underscores this, as its involvement indicates the scale and potential profitability for similarly positioned firms. Business growth can be achieved by both established and emerging players within the gigabit-capable infrastructure sector who are well-positioned to meet the service demands laid out by government interventions.

## Notice

This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the Derbyshire region. This is part of the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy programme.
