<p>[holding answer 11 July 2013]: The Government made funding allocations to local authorities and the devolved Administrations based on the estimated minimum amount of Government and locally matched funding that was required to provide 90% of premises in the UK with superfast broadband availability and to provide universal standard broadband availability. Local authorities and the devolved Administrations have undertaken project procurements using this funding, and have required suppliers, to provide bids to achieve the maximum possible coverage. The only contract that BDUK has with broadband suppliers is the BDUK Broadband Framework Agreement This does not specify a specific superfast broadband coverage target.</p>
