Work has also begun on a second phase that will aim to achieve &#8220;<em>nearly<\/em>&#8221; 94% coverage of the same area by the end of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of &#8220;<em>premises passed<\/em>&#8220;, Phase One originally aimed to reach an additional <strong>40,000+ premises<\/strong> and Phase Two already seeks to add another <strong>17,000+<\/strong> (or 14,600 when you only look at \u201csuperfast\u201d 24Mbps+ capable properties). The latest update from October 2016 suggests that some 334 new street cabinets have so far been installed and 53,000+ premises have benefited.<\/p>\n<p>Attention is now being turned to a future Phase Three contract, which is set to be supported by a public investment of \u00a32.55m from the city council, another \u00a32.55m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), \u00a34.3m from the local Growth Deal and \u00a31.1m worth of private sector funds. The definition of \u201c<em>superfast<\/em>\u201d has also been raised to 30Mbps+ for this phase.<\/p>\n<p>Overall around <strong>\u00a315 million<\/strong> is eventually predicted to become available for the next phase, which will seek to reach an additional <strong>8,000+ premises<\/strong> on top of the existing target. One-off corporate funding of \u00a3150,000 will also be invested in order to project manage the Council&#8217;s investment and work as part of CSW Broadband.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Cllr Jim O&#8217;Boyle, Cabinet Member for Jobs and Regeneration, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Regeneration and rebuilding our city is more than just bricks and mortar. It&#8217;s about unlocking people&#8217;s potential to succeed too and this can help. Nationally, \u00a36.4billion worth of Gross Added Value will be created in the UK by 2024 by investing in broadband infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Investing in broadband has been proven to bring jobs and wealth to an area. We want to make sure that Coventry sees its share of that and that the city doesn\u2019t have any barriers to success in the digital economy. Of course I\u2019d like to think that the private sector could have covered this \u2013 but as they can\u2019t, or won\u2019t \u2013 so we have stepped in.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>At this stage we don&#8217;t know how the additional premises will translate in terms of total percentage reach, although a figure of around 96-97% gaining access to &#8220;<em>superfast broadband<\/em>&#8221; seems like a realistic prediction. The third contract will also follow the new broadband framework (details <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/05\/uk-gov-reaches-new-rural-broadband-eu-state-aid-agreement.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2016\/06\/eu-publishes-new-uk-national-broadband-state-aid-agreement-full.html\">here<\/a>) and as such it should be more open to suppliers other than <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-145\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"BT\">BT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>CSW Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We have had some really positive engagement with suppliers, some of whom will use the same technologies as BT, and others who offer wireless or purely fibre to the premise solutions. We need to understand how the market works and what the benefits and disbenefits of each solution are, so that we can be truly informed clients as we move towards tendering and evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>Another difference this time around is that we will be breaking the area up into smaller lots, so as to make them more attractive to different suppliers. As far as possible, the lots will be determined to fit with the geography that is best suited to different technologies. We don\u2019t have a completely free hand in this, however, as we do need to keep the number of lots to a manageable number \u2013 probably 5 or 6 lots in total.<\/p>\n<p>This should mean that we will end up with 5 or 6 contracts, with a number of suppliers, providing the best possible solutions for each area. We\u2019ll give more information on lotting as the situation evolves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The project is currently running a public consultation on the plan (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cswbroadband.org.uk\/about-the-project\/contract-3\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>) and this is due to close on <strong>30th November 2016<\/strong>.
