Please also note, although the estimated total value is £125M across a potential 5 year

contract we would like to make the following clear

The overall value includes both premium and broker fees and could be in the range of £60 -

£125m across 5 years

Furthermore, to give an idea of just broker fees, this could end up being around £5m to £15m

across 5 years

Please note all figures are purely estimates.
