Contract Value

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. The contracting Authority cannot 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 party acting under instructions from the Supplier in connection with taking part

in this procurement process regardless of whether such costs arise as a consequence,

directly 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.
