It is difficult to predict the exact value of this contract as the Authority’s requirements are likely to vary over the Framework Agreement term, but it is estimated that the total value will not be less than £100,000 or greater than £500,000 depending on the number of bodies access the Framework Agreement. The estimated spend figure for this framework is based on the potential usage for those expressing an interest but allowing sufficient spend should other eligible parties decide to utilise the framework.
