The term of the contract shall be 01 June 2021 until 31 May 2024 with the option to extend for up to a further one year at the sole discretion of the Authority.

Potential suppliers are invited to submit tenders for one or more Lots. Potential suppliers could be successful in one or more Lots. It is envisaged that one supplier will be appointed for each of Lots 1-5, 7 and 8.

Lot 6 will be used in the event that it is more economically advantageous for the Authority to appoint a single supplier for Body Movement or in the event that any Lot in Lots 1-5 receives no compliant bids and a supplier cannot be appointed. For the avoidance of doubt, if Lot 6 is awarded, Lots 1-5 will not be utilised.

Potential suppliers must be prepared to be appointed to any Lot that they bid for.
