## Summary

Stirling Council has completed the procurement process for the "School and Libraries WAN Fibre Upgrade", aiming to deliver fibre broadband to schools and libraries across Stirling that currently lack this service. This open tender, conducted under the Crown Commercial Services - Network Services 2 Framework (RM3808), was awarded to British Telecommunications plc. The contract value is approximately £1,685,959, with the contract signed on 1st April 2022.

As digital connectivity becomes increasingly essential for educational institutions, businesses in this sector may find expanding service offerings highly beneficial.

### Lot Information
