The contract period is for 3 years, with an option to extend for a further 3 years subject to annual performance reviews and budget approval.

    • Change 12 month extension to the contract, Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Investigations into technical matters related to exiting the current contract and early market engagement for consideration of possible alternative providers indicated there is insufficient time to undertake and conclude a procurement procedure, and implement a replacement service by the 28 March 2024. The assumptions and evidence gathered to date, indicate that there is are potential significant time and costs required to replace the current service, which is reflected in the duration of the extension period of this notice. The risk of service disruption is significant if the current service provision is not secured whilst work is completed to undertake a new procurement procedure to replace the current contractual arrangements.
