Publisher note: The estimated value of the framework described in this Find a Tender notice is GBP 1 million. This figure has been calculated on the assumption that the framework runs for its maximum possible term (the initial terms of 2 years, plus the further extension periods of 1 year each) and that a number of call-off contracts are awarded by the various parties listed in the ITT. For the avoidance of doubt, the Contracting Authority gives no warranty or representation as to the value of any call-off contract, or the number of call-off contracts, if any, which may be awarded.
