The incumbent operator will now be required to wind-down all aspects of the CPS service, including transitioning assets to many new charge point operators, requiring additional time and funding to ensure a seamless, managed closure of the CPS network. This modification includes an amendment to the estimated value of the framework which was originally anticipated to be 5 million (GBP) over 24+12+12 months in line with the Short Description of the Contract Notice (Ref: FEB382111). This is the estimated value for any remaining Call-Offs made to the end of the period of the Framework Agreement.",
