8. Responses from residents, businesses and other stakeholders

If you are a resident or business, tell us whether you have or expect to have gigabit-capable broadband coverage in the next three years (and beyond). Responses to this OMR should, as a minimum, include the UPRN or relevant area (i.e. postcode), and the nature of the concern.

For all submissions, provide the following information:

• Your organisation’s name (if applicable)
• Your organisation’s, or residential address and/or UPRN (if applicable)
• Your name
• Your email address

Members of the public and other respondents should follow the above format and email their submissions to: gigabitomr@gov.scot

Making a data response

To submit a data response, please follow the steps below, as well as referring to the guidance provided in Annex B:

• If you require us to supply a UPRN list for your coverage area, please first request and sign the Public Sector Geospatial Agreement (PSGA) Contractor Licence, which will be required before downloading the data. Please return this, as soon as possible to gigabitomr@gov.scot
• Once you have done this, we will provide you with login details to our portal where you will be able to download the UPRN files.
• If you have already signed a PSGA with us through previous OMRs / PRs, there is no need to send this through again.
• If you need clarification, contact us at any time during the OMR period. Please send these questions to us at gigabitomr@gov.scot
• You should make your data submission to us via the portal ensuring that the fields contained exactly match the name and order of those contained within the UPRN files. Additional fields are permitted, however these should be included at the end of the data file submitted.
• If you have not provided a submission by the closing date, but have responded to a previous OMR, we will automatically re-use your previous submission. However, this will be subject to evaluation, and clarification questions where necessary, and your treatment may be reclassified. If you do not wish a previous return to be used for this RFI, please confirm this in writing via: gigabitomr@gov.scot
• Include all current and planned superfast, ultrafast and gigabit-capable premises within the geographic scope in Annex A.
• Provide any existing or planned infrastructure you have gained with assistance from government subsidy for example, vouchers, Superfast (NBS 2012 or NBS 2016), GIS, LFFN, RGC and GigaHubs.

The data you provide in your response will be treated as commercially confidential, albeit that it may be necessary to share some/all of your response data with our professional advisors and/or UK Government.

Please ensure that you engage with us as soon as possible to confirm whether you would require an NDA in advance of sharing data as part of this OMR process. If you already have a signed NDA in place with us through previous processes, this is not required again.

It is a requirement to use this information to produce maps to define White, Grey, Black and Under Review areas for gigabit-capable broadband. However, the published maps will show the anonymised and aggregated White, Grey, Black and Under Review broadband areas, not the data provided on a per-operator basis. The final maps and UPRNs that will be used for procurement purposes will be published via the OMR Outcome Report. We also maintain a publicly available list of Subsidy Control classifications for gigabit at both postcode and UPRN level.

We will use “built” or “RFS” data from suppliers to inform our online checker tool that is open to the public. This will likely include a link to each operator relevant for an individual UPRN. If you wish to discuss this further, please contact us directly.

If you have any questions about any of the above, please contact: gigabitomr@gov.scot
