SuperFast Leicestershire Phase 3

The Superfast Leicestershire project is working to extend the availability of Next Generation Access (NGA)broadband across the county of Leicestershire. To this end, Leicestershire County Council has previouslyinvested public funds through two contracts (Phase 1 and Phase 2), to extend the availability of NGAinfrastructure in areas where no commercial plans were available from market players as verified through StateAid Public Consultations to almost 97 % of premises in the county. The County Council intends to run a new procurement to secure a telecom provider(s) to deploy Next Generation Access solutions - those capable ofachieving a minimum of 30Mbps download speed - for the remaining areas in scope for NGA deployment.
