This question was answered on 9th February 2015
Before Phase 2 of the programme got under way, BDUK engaged with the market and explored several delivery options. A full business case was not developed as we decided to use the same delivery model for Phase 2 as for Phase 1. This approach was provided for within the original programme business case which had allowed for possibility of up to £300m additional government funding being deployed.
