The term of the contract shall be from 1st October 2026 until March 31st 2030 (i.e. 3 years 6 months ) with the option to extend for up to a further period of 2 years (i.e. until 31st March 2032) at the sole discretion of the Council. Anticipated funding for the first 6 months (01/10/26 - 31/03/27) of the service (based on current funding) totals £307,500.

If there are funding increases the Council is likely to require the provision of additional Services which could be up to a 40% increase in service scope and contract value.

Therefore, the potential maximum contract value, could be up to £7,148,262 for the term of contract plus extension period.
