Delivery to the locations and timescales as set out in the specification or as otherwise agreed between Braintree District Council and the Contractor.

This tender is issued to the market in two Lots.

The Lot awarded may include design/printing or it may not depending on cost/budget.

Volumes stated in the specification are indicative and cannot be guaranteed or relied upon. There is a need for the resulting contract to be flexible and the Contractor to understand the potential for the volumes to increase/decrease and for the product types and specifications to vary throughout the lifetime of the contract.

The Total value (estimated) incl. VAT is £656,400 and not £1,312,800 as stated in this notice, due to the intention to only award one Lot.
