Swansea Bay City Deal Digital Infrastructure Programme Better Broadband Infill Project

Description

The Swansea Bay City Deal’s Digital Infrastructure Programme is exploring potential solutions to contract a commercial partner(s) to provide a gigabit capable connection to premises in the Swansea Bay City Region (Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, Swansea, and Neath Port Talbot) that currently have poor broadband (<30mbps) and meet the following criteria: White premises - Speed < 30mbps Not in commercial plans as defined by OMR. Not part of Project Gigabit or existing voucher scheme We have recently concluded a tender process for the Better Broadband Infill Project, unfortunately, none of the bids received met the necessary criteria. In light of this, we would like to engage with the market to discuss the opportunity further before reissuing the tender. We are considering increasing the budget allocated for this project while reducing the coverage targets to ensure a more viable and competitive process. This consultation will help align expectations and provide a clearer understanding of the project’s scope.
