The Council is conducting this procurement process under the Procurement Act 2023 (UKPGA 2023/54), using the Open Procedure to identify the Supplier for the Supplies, Services, and/or Works. No information in this document is, or should be relied upon as, an undertaking or representation as to the Council's ultimate decision as to whether it will award the proposed Contract in relation to the Supplies, Services, and/or Works. Potential Suppliers participate in this procurement process at their own risk. The Council shall not accept liability nor provide any reimbursement for any costs or losses incurred by a Potential Supplier in relation to their participation in this procurement process, nor for any cancellation or amendment to this procurement process. The anticipated Contract Start Date for the Contract is set out in the Procurement Timetable. The anticipated initial duration for the Contract is 24 (twenty-four) Months with an ability for the Council to extend the Contract on 2 (two) further occasions of 12 (twelve) months each, up to a maximum total contract period of 48 (forty-eight) Months. Whether, on what basis, and for what period or periods the Contract is extended, is wholly at the discretion of the Council. The anticipated value of the Contract is included later in this notice. Potential Suppliers should note that the values are indicative only and that the Indicative Total Contract Values include the value of the Contract(s) should they be extended by the Council for the maximum period of 48 months. For the avoidance of doubt, Potential Suppliers should be aware that following award of the Contract should the successful Supplier subsequently find that their submitted solution and/or price is not accurate and/or sustainable then the successful Supplier will not be permitted to amend their price offer to require any further monies associated with the full provision of the Supplies, Services, and/or Works.
