Publisher note: The maximum value of this contract is £843,333 over the 3+2 year period. The maximum contract value is to be adhered to based on the cumulative value of both Lots. Due to the nature of this requirement being for the provision of services required following a request by the Authority, the contract value for each Lot reflects a quotation of a weighted basket which included hourly rates, travel rates and a basket of services. This criteria was issued at tender stage and used for evaluation purposes.
