In respect of each contract, services are to be delivered throughout England, Wales and Scotland. A contract will be awarded for an initial referral period of four (4) years (plus an initial implementation period of up to 10 weeks), with the option to extend by up to an additional two (2) years. There will a payment tail of 332 days following the referral period.

The anticipated value for the Programme for the initial four years + additional two years will be £50,117,210 exc. VAT (£60,140,652 inc. VAT) across both AtW: MHSS Contracts.

The requirement will be procured through a "Mini-Competition" through the National Lot on the DWP's Commercial Agreement for the provision of Employment and Health Related Services ("CAEHRS").
