Much delayed superfast broadband roll-out programme

The Scottish Government (SG) expects to sign a contract with BT (Openreach) for the delivery of their much delayed LOT 1 area, which forms part of the £579m R100 (Reaching 100%) superfast broadband roll-out programme, “before the end of the calendar year.”

The Scottish government has already awarded two out of its three R100 contracts – Central (LOT 2) and Southern (LOT 3) – to BT. The same operator was supposed to deliver LOT 1 (North Scotland and the Highlands), but that was scuppered by a legal challenge from rival Gigaclear.

Gigaclear’s case against the SG has now been settled work on LOT 1 has resumed. LOT 1 is the largest and was originally valued at around £384 million – potentially reflecting about 100,000 rural premises across the Highlands and Islands, Angus, Aberdeen and Dundee.
