Building Digital UK (BDUK, part of DCMS) 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. BDUK intends to establish a Cross-Regional Single Supplier Framework, known colloquially as Type C, to award call-off contracts over the life of the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme. The Cross-Regional Framework is intended to target premises that are unsuccessfully delivered either via Type A and B. ## CPV classification Telecommunications services Construction work for communication lines Telecommunications equipment and supplies Telephone and data transmission services Installation services of communications equipment Communications infrastructure Telecommunications-infrastructure maintenance services Network infrastructure Optical-fibre cables for data transmission Installation of cable infrastructure Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-03600e-2022-08-18T16:27:30+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-03600e-2022-08-18T16:27:30+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
