The contract, valued at £1,000, will cover an initial period of three years, with possibilities for two one-year extensions. Key dates include the tender's issuance on 29th June 2020, supplier visits between 6th and 17th July 2020, with responses due by midday on 31st July 2020, and evaluation completion by 12th August 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 24th August 2020, following a limited competitive quotation procurement method aimed at suppliers that fall below specified thresholds.
