The extension option will cover any ongoing maintenance of the system. The awarded value for the initial contract period (28th April 2025 to 30th September 2028) is £99,842 (exc VAT). Should the value of extension option (£30,000) be fully utilised then the maximum potential awarded value for this contract is £129,842 (exc VAT) and contract end date will be 30/09/2031.
