The supplier contract will be up to 7 years, subject to break clauses and resource availability. The total initial budget and contract value for the services to be delivered under this contract is up to PS4.5m. i. A further PS1.5m may become available during the initial contract period, subject to further approvals; ii. An additional PS2m scale up and/or 3 years extension option will also be available - subject to a business case addendum should the programme have a strong impact and potential to yield better results.
