The contract is for a maximum length of 36 months based on an initial fixed 12-month period, after which a 3-months break clause will apply to the balance of the term. The contract will expire in its entirety after 36 months or earlier if the break clause is applied.

The estimated total contract value based on a 36-month term is approximately £500,000. This is an indicative value of expected expenditure and not a committed spend. Spend will be based on buyer need only.
