Additional text

The value of the initial contract for phase 1 is well below the TED advertising threshold for Local Authorities. However, it is expected that a continuation of the contract beyond initial Phase 1 will be awarded (upto a combined total contract period of 5 years), subject to receipt of external funding. This requirement is currently unable to be estimated but it is expected that the full 5 year costs will exceed the TED threshold for Local Authorities at £25k.
