The estimated total value of the Contract is £391,000 (ex VAT) and the term of the Contract is 1 year.

It is considered that the Contract can be awarded to the Supplier using the negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice pursuant to Article 32(3)(b) of Directive 2014/24/EU (Regulation 32(5)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (SI 102)) in respect of additional deliveries by the Supplier.
