Project Gigabit network build contract - North Shropshire
Freedom Fibre will no longer deliver the Project Gigabit contract for North Shropshire in full.
In 2023, Freedom Fibre was awarded a contract to roll out gigabit-capable broadband to 12,000 premises in North Shropshire.聽聽聽
Due to changes in the external market, Freedom Fibre is no longer able to complete the contract in full. Freedom Fibre has already completed the build to 2,500 premises and aims to reach a further 1,000 by the end of this month.聽聽
BDUK and Freedom Fibre have mutually agreed to descope the remaining 8,500 premises from this contract. BDUK is now moving swiftly to put in place alternative plans with other suppliers to connect premises that were due to be covered by this contract.
Further information about Project Gigabit can be found on the BDUK website and under Project Gigabit: UK Subsidy advice.
