The estimated spend upon commencement of the Framework Agreement is: Lot 1 = c£2.5m (aprx); Lot 2 = c£0.8m to 1.0m (aprx); Lot 3 = c£0.2m to £0.5m (aprx). All value is exclusive of VAT and any inflationary uplift. The £4m estimated total value of the Framework Agreement is stated in field II.1.7. However, the Contracting Authority notes that subject to future demand of the service and securing appropriate governance approvals, there may be a need to increase the value of services under Lot 1, should such demand materialise.

The services advertised in this Notice fall under the services listed in Chapter 3 and Schedule 3 (Social and other specific services) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The procurement process that applied to this procurement were specified in the original procurement documents accordingly.
