## Summary

The Scottish Government recently completed the procurement process for the "R100 - Procurement of NGA Infrastructure" project, which focuses on extending high-speed broadband access across more remote areas of Scotland. This initiative, classified under the services industry, was undertaken using a selective procurement method with competitive dialogue and is situated mainly within central and southern Scotland. The tender aimed to deliver Next Generation Access Broadband Infrastructure capable of providing speeds of at least 30 Mbps. Key contracts were awarded to BT Plc for geographical Lots 2 and 3, with the agreements signed on 16 December 2019, securing a total funding amount of £213 million across both lots.

This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in broadband infrastructure, telecommunications, and related service sectors, particularly those with experience in large-scale network deployment. Companies specialising in civil engineering, technology, and project management would be particularly well-suited to capitalise on the subcontracting possibilities within BT Plc's awarded contracts, ensuring their services contribute to the successful expansion of high-speed broadband in Scotland's central and southern regions.

## Notice

The contracts for each Lot will deliver access to Next Generation Access Broadband Infrastructure (capable of delivering speeds of at least 30Mbps "NGA"). They build on the deployment of NGA Broadband Infrastructure that has been realised through the two Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband programmes (Highlands and Island and the Rest of Scotland), together with commercial deployment. We split the deployment into 3 geographical Lots: - Lot 1 - the North lot - Lot 2 - the Central lot - Lot 3 - the South lot This contract award notice is for Lot 2 and Lot 3
