The contract(s) will require the installation of Next-Generation-Access (NGA) compliant broadband infrastructure to serve some or all of the remaining not-spots (NGA White areas) in the county of Essex. The procurement will be split into four lots. Suppliers may bid for one, several or all lots. The lots are: - Lot 1 – Uttlesford District This lot largely comprises the administrative area of Uttlesford district. This area is one of the most poorly served geographical areas in the county of Essex with regard to broadband, comprising mostly rural locations, with some further coverage also required in the two market towns. This lot also includes London-Stansted airport. - Lot 2 – Central North This lot comprises large parts of Braintree district and sections of Colchester and Chelmsford districts. The premises requiring superfast connectivity are situated mainly in rural areas, but also some semi-rural locations. - Lot 3 – Tendring District This lot largely comprises the administrative area of Tendring district, which is a rural district with a significant cost line where the remaining premises requiring superfast connectivity are situated in rural locations. - Lot 3 – South East This lot comprises premises in some of the most rural and sparely populated areas of the county of Essex, situated along the coastline of Maldon and Rochford districts, and also includes a smaller proportion of semirural and semi-urban locations in the districts of Castle Point and Basildon districts. ### II.1.6) Additional information: 1.
