The non-core activity will form part of a framework contract for additional services which the Council may place orders for from time to time subject to additional funding.

There is no commitment from the Council that any orders will be placed for non-core activity as a result of additional funding that is secured. The total anticipated spend is in the region of £322,300 - £1,611,500 per annum.
