It is recognised that there is a need for government intervention in the parts of the country where the provision of gigabit-capable broadband is not commercially viable. This is why the government has committed £5 billion for the hardest to reach parts of the country, ensuring no area is left behind. This will be achieved through a package of coordinated and mutually supportive interventions, collectively known as Project Gigabit. As part of this, the Department for the Economy (DfE) in Northern Ireland, along with Building Digital UK (BDUK), an Executive Agency within the Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology, is developing a procurement approach for funding contracts to suppliers delivering gigabit-capable wholesale infrastructure.
