Additional Repeat Extension Partial Replacement
Published justification

The 1 year extension was not provided for in the original Contract but will provide sufficient time to allow the Council to finalise its requirements for a longer-term solution in respect of the services covered by the Contract. In addition this will also provide time to enable the Council to plan and undertake a competitive tendering exercise for the successor, long-term arrangement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023.
