About

Devon County Council awarded a contract to DWF LLP for legal support services for the Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) Broadband Project.

The provider advises the CDS Programme, with Somerset County Council as the Accountable Body.

CDS focuses on connecting hard-to-reach communities in England where commercial infrastructure investment is not viable without public subsidy, awarding subsidised contracts through competitive tender for building infrastructure such as fibre cables or wireless masts, and investing only where suppliers have no declared and credible plans to invest their own resources.

The contract value is AUD 400,000.
