Contract Value
The estimated value figure indicated in the Scope Section represents an overall estimated
contract value. This value reflects the potential scale of the contract and takes into
account potential optional extension periods and the uptake of potential optional services
as detailed in the tender documents. This figure does not however take into account the
application of indexation or increases to charges due to increases in the Real Living
Wage. Neither CPD nor the contracting Authority can provide any guarantee as to the
level of business under this contract. The Contracting Authority does not bind itself to
accept the lowest or any tender. Suppliers remain responsible for all costs and expenses
incurred by them or by any third party acting under instructions from the Supplier in
connection with taking part in this procurement process regardless of whether such costs
arise as a consequence, directly or indirectly of any amendments made to the
procurement documents by the Contracting Authority at any time. No legally binding
contract shall arise (and a Supplier shall have no legitimate expectation that a contract will
be entered into) until such time as entry into the Contract has been confirmed by the
Contracting Authority.
