Initial estimates consider a total value range across all lots of between GBP 20 500 000 and GBP 170 000 000 over the full 4-year framework term.
It is anticipated that, as a minimum, the contracting authority will utilise this framework for its workplace solutions and supplies requirements. However, it cannot guarantee that any purchases will be made through the framework during the course of the agreement. The contract authority's current workplace solutions framework is utilised by a number of public sector organisations but, again, no guarantee of future purchases under the framework can be given. The volume of the requirement under this framework is therefore dependent upon the take up of the agreement by potential end users. The total value of the framework is anticipated not to exceed GBP 170 000 000 over the 4-year term of the framework.
