The length of the contract is initially for five (5) years with the option to extend for a further 3+3+1+1+1 years, resulting in a possible maximum contract period of fourteen (14) years.

It is also intended that the Contract be part of the Council's wider focus on ensuring that its economic activity is a catalyst for regeneration within the London Borough of Croydon so as to ensure Croydon as a place benefits from the expenditure related to the contract and changes people's lives for the better.
