Phase 3 aims to extend NGA coverage even further by selecting an infrastructure provider to build an NGA network to the remaining unserved 'white' premises, focusing on the eligible business premises and utilising the public funding that is available in a 'gap funded' model. The eligible 'white' premises in the intervention area have been qualified formally through an Open Market Review and Public Consultation processes with the supplier market. However suppliers should note that as this information is investigated further and as new details become known, the scope, viability and need for coverage can be reassessed. The project is receiving up to ?1,000,0GBP of funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), to contribute in to the tender opportunity, as part of the European Structural and Investment Funds Growth Programme 2014-2020, which is being matched by DCMS' Broadband Delivery UK, who has allocated up to ?1,500,000GBP for the Programme. The current confirmed funding figure which should be modelled is ?2,500,000GBP. The difference between the total potential subsidy and the confirmed figure is additional approved funding which may be incorporated into the Contract during its deployment. The procurement documentation explains how the contract will handle the use of additional funding Over the resulting contract's lifetime, other funding may become available, at which point the Connecting Worcestershire Phase 3 Broadband Programme will look to use this in the successful delivery of broadband provision to the remainder of the eligible 'white' premises. The Contractor will be expected to provide investment in the network, as part of the 'gap funded' model, and to own and manage the risks associated with developing and operating a wholesale broadband network, including but not limited to take-up risk.
