The ICB anticipate that the contract value will be in the range of £400-£450,000 per annum.

This Procurement is being advertised in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (the "Regulations") to the extent that the Regulations relate to services within the scope of Schedule 3 thereto (Social and Other Specific Services).
