Summary
THE search is on to find a provider who has the most effective and sustainable way to bring faster broadband to rural Gloucestershire. And it cannot come quick enough for businesses fed up with being in the slow lane when its comes to broadband speeds.
An area including large parts of the Forest of Dean and south Herefordshire is one of just four pilot areas in the UK to receive Government funding to bring enhanced access in rural areas. A complex and demanding multi-million pound contract has been put out to tender by the project partners in Gloucestershire and Herefordshire to find the most viable technological solutions to the area's broadband needs. The procurement process will engage companies in a 'competitive dialogue' process to seek the best delivery, in the shortest timescale and for the best value. The companies will be required to deliver 100 per cent broadband coverage initially in the pilot area within two years of the contract being awarded, rolling out to further Gloucestershire rural areas already identified as most in need.See the full content of this document
