## Description
The scope (Subject Matter of the contract) includes the management of the Contracting Authority’s 61 hotels and guest houses and the initial production of a detailed strategy to outline the management and investment approach to be taken during the life of the contract.
This contract does not replace a current contract; the work has been previously carried out in house, but the Contracting Authority has insufficient resources or expertise to deliver this and as a result is procuring the work. The new contract is estimated to require 9 weeks for mobilisation/ transition.
Further details on the scope and Specification (Technical, Legal, Performance and Financial) can be found in Annex B1 – Specification.
The total budget available is estimated between £1.4m and £2m over the full six-year term (please note that the core term is four years with an optional 2 x 12-months extension periods).
