Renewal Options

Option to extend for a period or periods totalling no more than a further two years. The Council anticipates receiving some additional funding from MHCLG. Contracts have been written with precise but flexible options for variation so that this additional funding can be used to secure additional services through this contract should the Authority so wish. The advertised contract value reflects this potential, but it is not guaranteed; hence the difference between the advertised value and the affordability threshold used in the ITT.
