Building Digital UK (BDUK) has commissioned Winning Moves, Belmana and Darren Kilburn to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of waves two and three of the Local Full Fibre Networks (LFFN) programme. LFFN was a £200 million programme which aimed to stimulate commercial investment to deliver more gigabit capable digital connectivity across the UK.
The evaluation will aim to identify and value the programme’s outcomes and impacts, examine the effectiveness of its delivery models, and explore how the lessons learned can inform future digital infrastructure initiatives, including Project Gigabit. The evaluation will provide evidence-based insights to support policymaking, improve value for money, and advance the UK’s broadband strategy. The evaluation will be conducted in a phased manner through six ‘work packages’, with each focusing on a different aspect of programme delivery or impact.
This evaluation plan outlines the framework and methodologies that will guide the research. It sets out how the evaluation will be conducted, including the specific work packages, data collection methods, and analytical techniques. The document will serve as the foundation for aligning the evaluation with BDUK’s objectives.
