In particular: - the value of the Services Limb (as reflected in the procurement documents and underlying third party contracts) is PS190,000,000, rather than the figure of PS42,000,000 included at sections II.1.7 and V.2.4 of the original contract award notice; and- in addition to this, the Council intended that sufficient \"headroom\" (PS136,000,000) be made available in order that other public bodies can make use of the Framework and that the Potentially Transferring Hosted Contracts can be delivered under the Framework. Without this financial headroom, the Framework Limb would have had no effect. The PS82,000,000 allocated to the Framework Limb in respect of the Potentially Transferring Hosted Contracts is not \"new business\", but existing services valued under the Services Limb that (potentially) could transfer to the Framework Limb.The procurement documents were clear that the Council was procuring a framework agreement capable of being used by other public bodies. However, as noted above, a specific value for Framework Limb was not included in the original contract award notice; and the contract award notice did not include an explicit reference to third party access to the Framework. The procurement documents also made clear that the Framework was to be accessible by any local authority or public body in the United Kingdom, but this was not expressed in IV.1.3 of the original contract award notice.This Corrigendum rectifies these deficiencies in the original contract award notice."
