4. Summary of June 2026 Open Market Review Outcome
For presentational purposes only, postcode-level mapping has been used to present the OMR map showing eligible premises. (Note we only subsidise build to premises which have been designated as White - postcodes are not used to determine IAs for subsidy).
For this purpose, postcodes have been classified as follows:
- A postcode is White if any White premises are present
- A postcode is Under Review if any Under Review premises are present
- A postcode is Black if all premises in the postcode are classified Black
- A postcode is Grey if all premises are Grey, or a mixture of Grey and Black
The June 2026 OMR postcode-level map summarising these premises classifications can be found in Appendix A.
The outcome of the June 2026 OMR is summarised in terms of Gigabit White, Grey, Black and Under Review postcodes and premises below which incorporates all of Scotland.
