There will be an option for the Council to extend for a period, or series of periods, up to a maximum of 48 (forty-eight) additional months, making a potential total contract length of 9 years. The total contract spend for the full 9 years is estimated at £25,232,451. This is only an estimate, and the actual spend maybe higher or lower than this figure. The Council is of the opinion that TUPE will apply. The contract will not be divided into Lots. The reason for not having Lots is that we have previously considered fractionalizing the tender into lots, however had moved away from this direction. The reason for this is that we have a business need for a single contract, with one main contact and oversight presiding over the whole, which would reduce our management time and pick up economies of scale throughout the supply chain. We have previously found that one point of contact overall with several area managers gives us a suitable and timely service response, with resilience provided through the area managers.
