## Summary

Carmarthenshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the Swansea Bay City Deal Digital Infrastructure Programme, specifically the Better Broadband Infill Project, with BT as the designated supplier. This project, focused under the industry category of goods, aims to deliver gigabit-capable connections to premises within the Swansea Bay City Region, including Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Swansea, and Neath Port Talbot. The procurement was conducted using a selective method under a restricted procedure, culminating in a contract valued at just under £9.87 million, signed on 15 April 2025. This strategic procurement aligns with the General Public Services sector and addresses existing market failures concerning inadequate broadband speeds in the targeted regions.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for digital infrastructure businesses and large-scale connectivity providers, especially those focused on delivering high-speed internet solutions. Companies experienced with infrastructure projects and interested in expanding their operations in Wales would benefit from such initiatives, given the demand for enhanced connectivity to facilitate regional development. The involvement of major industry players like BT highlights the potential for partnerships between local authorities and private enterprises to address infrastructure deficiencies while fostering economic growth across the region.
