The proposed contract length shall be an 'initial term' of five (5) years, with the option to extend for a period (or periods) of up to a further five (5) years. Please note that estimated values, contract length (including changes to the initial term and/or extension term options), and timeline dates are all indicative at this stage and may be subject to change as the tender process concludes. Prospective bidders will be expected to complete and return a Procurement Specific Questionnaire & OPM Supplier Questionnaire - Technical Ability spreadsheet to assess suitability and will be required to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement if they are successful and subsequently invited to participate in the tender stage of this procurement.
