The specification details the opportunity for a Provider(s) to enter a Concession Contract with the Council for 3 years, with appropriate break clauses this service. The use of a Concession Contract to define this arrangement, arises from the Council identifying a defined cohort of potential customers but not directly purchasing a service, nor offering a committed volume of business nor subsidy.
