## Summary

The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is progressing with its Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme, essential for enhancing broadband services in the UK. The programme focuses on telecommunications services, specifically targeting areas in Lincolnshire and East Riding. The procurement stage is currently at the contract award and update phase, with critical deadlines around mid-2025. The procurement method follows a selective procedure complying with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract involves delivering long-term gigabit-capable network services in regions unlikely to receive commercial investment without governmental support.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in telecommunications and associated infrastructure. Quickline Communications Limited, the awarded supplier, is a notable name involved in constructing gigabit-capable networks. Businesses involved in network construction, fibre build, and ancillary services are well-positioned to compete and grow through sub-contracting opportunities. The procurement underpins the development of resilient and sustainable broadband networks, ensuring expansive and high-quality internet services in underserved regions, fostering significant business growth and development.

## Notice

This procurement is for the award of a Regional Supplier Contract in the Lincolnshire and East Riding 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.
