Published justification

This contract was awarded following an early market engagement exercise, in which suppliers were invited to submit an expression of interest via. a notice on Contracts Finder:

www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/b51a027b-6175… ↗

The call for expressions of interest was published on 24 July 2023. Respondents to this call were then invited to submit a tender. A notice was initially omitted because the approved spend on the contract, barring extension options is below the threshold for publication. This voluntary transparency notice aims to remedy, due to the fact that if all extension contracts are utilised, the maximum value of the contract will be £320,000.
