Description
The original contract award notice was published with a total value of the contract as £299,214.30. This value was based on spend in the initial 2 year contract term. This corrigendum is updating the contract award notice to £600,000. This increase in total value of the contract is to reflect potential additional spend if the extension years on the contract were taken. The contract awarded is for 2 years with the option to extend annually for a further 2 years (2+1+1).
