The framework is expected to commence on 1 October 2016 for an initial three year period, after which there will be an optional 12 month extension until 30 September 2020.

Funding for the delivery of the projects may to be provided by several sources, including potentially The University of Leicester, the UK Government and/or the European Regional Development Fund, and the team will be expected to comply with the rules and regulations associated with this funding.
