The estimated value is based on a potential upper value over the duration of the ICF and actual value will depend on actual demand. Additional information: All existing Providers originally awarded a framework agreement in November 2020 have been sent a notice of extension which will terminate 20th November 2024. Therefore all framework agreements regardless of award date will terminate conterminously.
