Lot 1
The combined spend on Advertising, Creative Design and Media purchasing is estimated to be in the region of approximately PS400,000 per year. The proposed Contract duration shall initially be for three years with optional extension provision(s) that may, upon invocation by the Utility, extend this period for an additional five years - i.e. the maximum duration of the Framework Agreement being up to eight years.

Additional information: Phoenix reserves the right at any time to: * reject any or all responses and to cancel or withdraw from this procurement at any stage, * award a contract without prior notice, * change the basis, the procedures and timescales set out or referred to within the procurement documents, * require a bidder to clarify any submissions in writing and/or provide additional information.
