Purpose

The purpose of this Key Officer Decision is to
establish three new grant agreements between Ealing Council (the
council) (acting as the accountable body for SIP 1 funding) and the
boroughs of Hounslow, Brent and Hillingdon. These agreements will
allow the boroughs to utilise SIP 1 grant funds to procure and
implement digital projects using the TfL Concessionaire,
Boldyn Communications, and other local
contractors. The goal of these projects is to enhance gigabit and
mobile broadband connectivity in under-served areas, benefiting
businesses and residents who otherwise would not have access to
this connectivity.
