The estimated value figure indicated in the Scope Section represents an overall estimated
contract value. This value reflects the potential scale of the contract and takes into
account potential optional extension periods and the uptake of potential optional services as detailed in the tender documents. This figure does not however take into account the application of indexation or increases to charges due to increases in the Real Living Wage. Neither CPD nor the contracting Authority can provide any guarantee as to the level of business under this contract. The Contracting Authority does not bind itself to accept the lowest or any tender.
Suppliers remain responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by them or by any third

or indirectly of any amendments made to the procurement documents by the Contracting Authority at any time. No legally binding contract shall arise (and a Supplier shall have no
legitimate expectation that a contract will be entered into) until such time as entry into the
Contract has been confirmed by the Contracting Authority.
