Please note that the new 8 providers' ranks on the Framework will be from 26 to 33. The Authority reserves the right to increase the number of providers added to this Lot 1 list during this tender exercise in light of emerging demands during the procurement timeframe. The initial term of the Framework Agreements will be from 1st April 2021 to 9th October 2022 with an option to extend for a further period or periods up to 6th October 2024. A Tenderers Information Session is being held on the 11th November 2020. Further details regarding how to register for this session is contained within the Invitation to Tender documentation.
