The contract shall be paid upon provision of service and there is no guarantee of activity. The Authority has entered expectant activity levels in the '2023/24 estimated activity column' of the Commercial Offer Template, however, it should be stipulated that this is not guaranteed activity for the contract duration.

Other key considerations: The NCA is not available to publish, however the total spend equates to 2021/22 = PS11,661.41 and 2022/23 (up to December 22) = PS36,434.53. Annual adjustments for inflation/efficiency will be made to the tariffs each year in line with the contract terms.
