II.2.4) Description of the procurement
The geographic scope of the DPS is UK-wide. Its focus is to target the build of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in the final 20% (f20) of the country that is not commercially viable for the market to design, build and operate without government intervention. Following successful admission of Suppliers onto the DPS, Suppliers can tender for Call-Off Contracts. Each Call-Off Contract will vary in terms of number of premises covered, value and geographic coverage. BDUK currently expects the average Call-Off Contract size to be around 1,000 to 8,000 premises.<br/><br/>The DPS will be used by BDUK and will be available to the UK's Devolved Administrations to award Call-Off Contracts. Devolved Administrations refers to the National Assembly for Wales; the Scottish Government; and the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive Committee.<br/><br/>The UK Government has confirmed that approximately £5 billion will be allocated to target the final 20% (f20), the hardest to reach parts of the UK. BDUK will be targeting its market intervention in these areas of the UK via a programme to subsidise the design, build and operation of gigabit-capable Supplier networks providing long-term, sustainable availability of wholesale gigabit broadband services in the hardest to reach parts of the UK. Suppliers must be qualified onto the DPS to be eligible to bid for Call-Off Contracts. The competitive process for Call-Off Contracts is expected to commence in 2021.<br/><br/>This procurement is for the award of a Dynamic Purchasing System Contract – Cornwall. It concerns the delivery of a gigabit-capable network for an estimated total number of 9,750 premises. BDUK intends to make available £18,075,000.00 of public funding available for this contract.<br/><br/>Only those Suppliers successfully admitted onto the DPS are eligible to bid on this ITT.<br/><br/>The provision of subsidy will be provided in accordance with the UK subsidy control regime.
