This is a verified signal produced by QuorumInsight from a public council meeting. It is not an official procurement or tender notice, is not published or endorsed by the council, and no notice has necessarily been issued on Find a Tender or Contracts Finder. Value, route to market and timing are estimates inferred from what was said and may change. Always verify directly with the authority before acting.
It would be for proposed duration of five years from April 2027 with a two year extension if required.
Also said in the meeting
“The service is expected to cost 2,200,000 a year for five years with a total contract value of around 11 to 15,000,000 depending on whether the extension is used.”
“This is not the procurement plan itself. It is a request for approval to do the engagement consultation to then shape the service that we need to procure.”
