Building Digital UK awarded a contract to Freedom Fibre Ltd for the Gigabit Infrastructure Subsidy Programme DPS Lot 25.02 Shropshire, valued at AUD 24,042,000.

The contract supports the build of gigabit-capable broadband infrastructure in Shropshire, part of the final 20% (f20) of the UK unlikely to attract commercial investment.

The programme aims to provide long-term, sustainable wholesale gigabit broadband services in hard-to-reach areas and may last up to 9 years.

Some contract documents were withheld due to commercial sensitivity.
