The Framework Agreement allows for a 1 year extension within the term, i.e. a 3 year +1 year arrangement. Commencement of framework 1st November 2021.

two.2.14) Additional information

The estimated Framework value range of £5 million to £25 million GBP is over the total of 4 years. This is reflective of variations of budgetary provision and anticipated work from 3rd party partner clients. The lower end of the spend range is more reflective of the Council's potential spend, with the higher end incorporating other potential public sector partners both within and outside of the Staffordshire geographical border.

Whilst from a Councils perspective pipeline of work the framework is likely to see a predominance of projects typically ranging between £0.5 million and £2 million, the Framework may be commissioned for projects above and below this range.

However, there is no commitment at the time of tendering from any parties and this should be taken into consideration when bidding. Note - this is anticipated and approximate with no guarantee on actual figures.

The Framework is not exclusive, and the Council or its public sector partner clients makes no guarantee as to the volume of business on offer or to be awarded, and any figures / quantities / volumes given are indicative only and intended as a general guide. The Council also reserves the right to operate a public tender outside of the Framework where so required.
