The Scottish Government<\/a> has today launched a new Open Market Review (OMR), which forms part of the UK Government’s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a><\/strong> broadband rollout and aims to identify which areas will need state aid support to help spread the availability of gigabit speed networks “nationwide<\/em>” by 2030.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. Project Gigabit seeks to extend 1Gbps download (c.200Mbps upload) capable networks to reach at least 85% of UK premises by the end of 2025 and then “nationwide<\/em>” by 2030 (here<\/a> and here<\/a>). The funding released for this will depend upon how the industry responds and is targeted at the final 20% of hardest to reach premises. So far only \u00a31.2bn<\/strong> has been released from the budget until 2024, but more may follow if the industry shows it can deliver.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> c.65% of UK premises can already access a gigabit network (c.30% via just FTTP<\/a>) – mostly thanks to Virgin Media<\/a>’s upgrade of their older HFC lines. But it’s hoped that commercial builds could push this up to c.80% (mostly in urban areas), with public funding being used to tackle areas of market failure.<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Scotland’s \u00a3600m Reaching 100% (R100<\/strong>) contract with Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) is already doing quite a good, if somewhat slower than expected, job of extending 1Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP networks across many of the country’s remaining rural areas by 2027. But a question mark remains over how many Scottish premises will still need a gigabit upgrade once R100 completes.<\/p>\n

The first step – before procurements can begin and contracts awarded – is to identify, via an Open Market Review<\/strong><\/a>, precisely which areas are not expected to benefit from gigabit speeds under existing commercial builds – this covers any plans for the next 3 years. The related OMR consultation will run from today until 21st March 2022<\/strong>. This may well then be followed by a Public Review<\/strong> (PR).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The Public Review process aims to validate the outcome of the OMRs and BDUK\u2019s mapping, hence PRs are the final review stage before procurement. PRs also reveal the outcome of earlier OMRs (i.e. how many premises will need support).<\/div>\n

We should point out that Building Delivery UK and the Scottish Government<\/a> are still discussing the thorny issue of how the related funding and procurement will be managed for Scotland. The SG will no doubt want to manage everything itself, while BDUK has been trying to centralise everything around a new Dynamic Purchasing System<\/strong> (DPS) to avoid some of the delays that struck earlier projects (those were shopped out to local authorities).<\/p>\n

The catch is that BDUK is taking a long time to get their procurements in England rolling (update<\/a>) and the longer the two sides take to agree a solution for Scotland, the longer it will be before they actually deliver something practical for constituents.<\/p>\n

Finally, we should remind readers of how BDUK \/ DCMS has already determined that the final 0.3% of the UK (i.e. under 100,000 premises) may be too expensive for even Project Gigabit to reach (we suspect the proportional % will be higher in Scotland). A range of alternative proposals for this are currently still being consulting upon (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
