Bids exceeding these limits will be rejected. There is potential to extend the contract for up to two additional years.

The maximum budget ‘core’ value excludes the potential two year extension and aspirational intent as described in section 14.4 of Annex A – Service Specification.

Please note, there is no commitment by the Authority at this stage to include any aspirational intent measures. Taking the total of this aspirational intent into account, as well as the possibility that a contract extension may be offered for an additional two years, the potential ceiling value is £9,231,961 GBP including VAT.
