The value across both Authorities for the initial 3-year term is £2.55 million, and the maximum whole life (5 year) value is £4.25 million.  All values provided are inclusive of any non-recoverable VAT.
Bids must be received via the Atamis e-procurement system by no later than midday on 24 October 2022.
