Description

NOTE: This notice was updated on 03 April 2020 for the following reason: Delta Access Code - R6X3799QYP(As part of the Future Telecoms Infrastructure Review we developed an LSOA (Lower Layer Super Output Area) level model to estimate the coverage and costs of gigabit-capable connectivity.

We are seeking a peer review to examine whether our modelling approach and cost estimates are fit for purpose. The peer review should be written up in a report. The report should include the following:
-Highlighting the strengths of the modelling approach and questions for which the model seems well suited to answering
-Highlighting any issues with the current methodology and questions for which the modelling seems less well suited to answering
-Recommending any improvements to the methodology and input assumptions.
- Where alternative input assumptions are suggested a source should also be provided
- Ideally we should be able to quote the assumptions in non-confidential documents
-A comparison of the outputs of this model with work that you have previously done or have access to.)
