93cd10a7-3f33-4e9a-a030-be2319563b4d-126534This contract forms an integral part of the Fastershire Broadband Strategy 2015-18 in which the strategic partnership between Herefordshire Council and Gloucestershire County Council are seeking to extend the reach of Next Generation Access Broadband ("NGA") to rural parts of both counties which have yet to benefit from such services. The contract relates to stage 3 of the strategy which can be obtained from the Fastershire website www.fastershire.com. Its aim is to procure an Ultrafast Broadband solution for as many of the premises which are as yet unreached in parts of the Forest of Dean as possible. Additionally, a minimum of NGA standard services are being sought within parts of the Golden Valley. Specifically, the contract will seek to build a broadband network that will provide; a wholesale broadband service open to all Communication Providers on a non-discriminatory basis; with the capability to access Ultrafast Broadband (NGA in the Golden Valley) by the greatest number of the circa. 7,750 eligible premises as possible. The contractor will be expected to provide substantial investment into the broadband network and own and manage the risks associated with developing and operating the broadband network on a wholesale basis including, but not limited to, take-up risks. An indicative public subsidy of circa. GBP 4.54 million has been allocated to this contract and it is anticipated that this subsidy will provide the gap funding required by the selected supplier to deliver NGA coverage to a significant number of the eligible premises in the Lot 2 area. This subsidy has been allocated by BDUK and Gloucestershire County Council. In order to comply with the State aid requirement of providing the minimum public subsidy necessary to overcome the market failure to provide the required services to the eligible premises, the actual amount of subsidy will be dependent upon the chosen solution. This said, the estimated level of public subsidy is not anticipated to exceed GBP 4.54 million.
