Building Digital UK (BDUK, part of DCMS) awarded a contract to Wessex Internet for the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme DPS Lot 27.01 Hampshire (New Forest).

The contract, valued at £13,750,000, supports the build of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in the New Forest area, part of the final 20% (f20) of the UK unlikely to attract commercial investment.

The programme aims to subsidise the build of gigabit-capable networks providing long-term, sustainable availability of wholesale gigabit broadband services in hard-to-reach parts of the UK.

The programme is envisaged to last up to 9 years, with contracts awarded throughout that period.

Some contract documents were not published due to commercial sensitivity.
