This contract covers City of London Corporation, City of London Police, Barbican, Libraries (including public printing), Schools and Print room with a print fleet of 540 devices deployed at around 34 post codes.

Therefore, the total potential duration of the contract, including extensions, is 7 years. The City reserves the right to vary the term of the contract further in line with the published Terms and Conditions. Please note that the contract value is up to PS500,000 per annum in line with the published Tender Documents and the published Terms & Conditions. Additional information: Please note that the contract value is up to PS500,000 per annum and the value advertised is the total potential value for both the initial term and any subsequent terms, in line with the published Tender Documents and the published Terms & Conditions.

Options: The duration of the contract is 60 months (5 years), subject to the right of the City (at its sole discretion) to exercise its right to extend the Contract for a further 24 months (2 years). The maximum length of the contract is therefore 84 months (7 years).
