Publisher note: The total value of the procurement is based on both 12-month extensions option being given. If the extensions are not offered then the estimated contract value could reduce to approx. GBP 208816.74. If only one 12 month extension is offered, the total estimated contract value could reduce to approx. 313225.11. There is no guarantee regarding these figures and not all work is known at this time so the figures in this notice are purely estimates.
