"description": "Croydon Council has been appointed to lead this procurement . The other authorities involved are Kingston upon Thames, Merton and Sutton.\"Tenderers should note that as this contract is being primarily funded through grant funding from the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) to the Council, the full possible term of the contract is dependent on currently unknown factors, such as agreeing a delivery plan (see below) and whether additional funding will be provided to the Council in the future. Funding provided from central government is confirmed on a successive basis and so the full possible term of the programme is currently unknown by the Council. However, as at the date of this notice:1) The initial term of the contract is expected to be from contract execution until [31 March 2028]; Similarly, in respect of the estimated contract value, funding from DWP is subject to the Council and South London Partnership agreeing a delivery plan with DWP for the initial term and subsequent possible extensions (expected in April 2025 for the initial term). This delivery plan will include the final agreed funding, so the estimated value of the contract included in section II.1.5 of this notice has been set at the indicative level of PS[24] million. This estimate is on the basis of the contract being extended up to seven years but for clarity:1) The Council expects the initial term to [31 March 2028] to have an estimated value of approximately PS[10.3] million; and2) The current expected extensions to have a combined estimated value of approximately PS[13.7] million.For the avoidance of doubt, the scope of this procurement covers the full possible delivery of the Connect to Work programme including all future extensions in both term length and value (even if these lengths and values exceed the currently expected figures included in this contract notice).Similarly, in respect of the estimated contract value, funding from DWP is subject to the Council and South London Partnership agreeing a delivery plan with DWP for the initial term and subsequent possible extensions (expected in April 2025 for the initial term).
