5.2 However, whilst the Total Known Contract Value for this requirement is £1.8M in the event that additional Ministry Of Justice (MoJ) funding becomes available in the future for these same services (as defined herein) and the contract is therefore extended as detailed herein, the Maximum POTENTIAL total contract value could increase to £3.6M however this additional funding is NOT currently confirmed or guaranteed.
5.3 If said additional funding is made available to the OPCC, the OPCC will at its sole discretion allocate funding across the various Lots however they they see fit in order to meet the current and future needs of the service user demands.
5.4 Therefore no additional monies over and above that detailed per lot are currently guaranteed under this contract..
5.5 if additional requirements that “…cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, or would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority…” become known to the OPCC these may be procured directly under the specified Lots so long as the additional related requirement(s):
5.5.1 has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen;
5.5.2 does not materially alter the overall nature of the contract;
5.5.3 does not increase the Maximum potential value of the overall contract (advertised in the original call for competition) by more than 50% of the value of the original contract.

2.5 The Contract is intended to be awarded on 26th of September 2022 with a Contract start date of 1st of October 2022. The Contract shall be awarded for a period of 2 years and 6 months from and including the Contract start date.
2.6 In the event the Ministry of Justice offer additional Funding for this requirement via the OPCC the contract may (at the sole discretion of the OPCC be extended for a cumulative period of not more than to a further 2 years and 6 months) to bring the maximum potential end date of this contract 30th September 2027
