The value may increase as a result of the client increasing its client/property portfolio, successful joint bidding defined in 2.4 or where new customer’s call-off from the framework.
The anticipated framework commencement date is 23.8.2019 for an initial period of 24 months, with an option to extend for a further period of 24 months, in 12 months increments, subject to performance. This will take the maximum framework period to 48 months, ending no later than 22.8.2023.
