This will comprise of an initial contract period of one year for the provision of the equipment including a one year warranty with an option to extend by up to a further five years for extended support and maintenance (subject to the satisfactory performance and at the discretion of the University). The contract will be effective on signing. The initial term of the warranty of one year will run from the date of delivery of the equipment with extensions if so agreed by the University, running from the expiry of the initial contract period. Contract Value: The estimated value of the initial one year contract period is within the range of PS370,000 to PS400,000, excluding VAT. This value includes all related components, services and maintenance for the initial contract period. The total estimated value of this contract is PS400,000, this value takes into account the estimated value of extending the service and maintenance contract up to an additional five years. Additional information: This contract is NOT suitable for splitting into lots. The risk of dividing the requirement into Lots would render the execution of the contract excessively technically difficult, not cost effective and would undermine proper execution of the contract. Due to the nature of the contract and the service requirements involved, all elements of the contract will be managed by a sole service provider.",
