• to provide the opportunity to ask any initial clarification questions.
• to facilitate potential provider collaboration and networking.

Duration: 3 years with an option to extend for up to a period of 24 months subject to availability of funding and performance.

The maximum annual contract value for this contract is estimated to be in the region of £920,000.
