Description

Cornwall Council is seeking a supplier to provide Next Generation Access (NGA) broadband infrastructure to deliver superfast (30+Mbps) and ultrafast (100+Mbps) broadband services to as many premises as possible. The project (previously referred to as 'Superfast 2') represents a new programme of up to £14.6m investment, including funding from the European Development Fund, Broadband Delivery UK's SW Ultrafast Fund and the Council's own funding.
