Publisher note: As this is a new Framework, the value is currently unknown, however the anticipated value of the Services is approximately £600,000 per annum. This gives an approximate value of between £4m and £5m over the maximum 8-year Framework term over both Lots. However, no guarantee or commitment can be given to the initial and future value of any work arising from this Framework. It is anticipated that there will be a contract value split of between of between 80-90% for Lot 1 and 10-20% for Lot 2.This is an open Framework Agreement. The Council may, during the Agreement Term, add an additional Lot/s to the Framework Agreement. However, the scope and value of the services to be delivered under the additional Lot/s is currently undefined. If a further Lot/s are added to the Framework Agreement, the opportunity to bid for the additional Lot/s will be advertised in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 so that the opportunity is open to the market as a whole as well as to existing Framework Providers.
