Following approval of delegated authority to the
Corporate director in June 2015 a contract for phase 2 of
Connecting Cumbria was awarded to BT. This contract was conditional
on confirmation of the matched funding allocation from the LGF and
completion of BDUK assurance of the project intervention
area.
A risk has been identified to the LGF funding therefore a Cabinet
decision is to be sought on if the contract should be enacted and
alternative funding options
