This initiative, part of a broader government programme, will subsidise the design, construction, and operation of gigabit-capable broadband networks. The contract was awarded to British Telecommunications plc with an updated value of £42,488,268.00. Located in Westminster, this service falls under the "Telecommunications services" industry category and will be delivered as part of a services procurement under a framework agreement. The procurement process has transitioned to the award stage, with the contract period starting on the 19th of December 2024 and ending on the 30th of September 2037. This tender presents substantial opportunities for companies in the telecommunications sector, particularly those specialising in infrastructure development. Businesses capable of providing sophisticated broadband services and network operations are well-positioned to thrive. The project's scope and financial value could attract mid to large-sized enterprises interested in expanding their presence in the UK market. Additionally, with the emphasis on enhancing broadband accessibility in remote regions, companies with innovative solutions and proven experience in complex geographical challenges will find this contract advantageous for growing their business footprint. ## Notice This notice is for the award of a Call-Off contract under the Cross-Regional Supplier Framework for multiple regions within the United Kingdom (UK). 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 DSIT) 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. This Call-Off covers: Cheshire ### Lot Information Lot 1 BDUK established a Cross-Regional Single Supplier Framework, known colloquially as Type C in July 2024. The Framework was established to target premises for which 1) no or no appropriate market interest has been received through GIS market engagement steps for proposed Type A or Type B procurement areas; (2) BDUK has not awarded a contract following a procurement for Type A or Type B areas; (3) Type A or Type B contracts that cover these premises fail to be delivered by the supplier and are descoped or terminated; (4) Type C provides demonstrably better value for money or pace of build or coverage. The premises within this Call Off met the above criteria. This Call Off will 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 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/061116-2026 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 30 Jun 2026 | | Submission deadline | 29 Aug 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 27 Jun 2024 | | Contract period | 19 Dec 2024 - 30 Sep 2037 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £800,000,000 | | Lots value | £800,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £3,719,822,758 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR SCIENCE, INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY | | Additional buyers | DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE, INNOVATION & TECHNOLOGY;
