Description
For the 2025-26 academic year the Council is making available a maximum revenue sum for each lot. This will be split between successful organisations. We are looking to commission a mixture of small medium and large contracts. We want a balanced diverse programme, with expertise from all potential providers. We will share future Budget information at the beginning of each mini competition. The Framework term will run for 4 years. Contracts awarded by mini competition throughout the framework will run for 1 year. We will hold Mini competitions yearly. This is so we can award contracts in line with each academic year (25/26,26/27 etc) for the duration of the framework.
