The contract will initially run for a period of 10 years with the option to extend by up to a further 5 years; all subject to the satisfactory performance of the appointed Service Provider.

Under the first stage of the process, prospective Service Providers are required to complete and submit a Selection Questionnaire and its associated appendices. Following evaluation of submitted SQs, Basildon BC anticipates short listing 5 Service Providers to be Invited to Tender. The Council reserves the right to increase that number by 1 or 2, should scores be very closely placed around the cut-off point.
