Annual renewals will be at the discretion of the Council once the initial contract period has expired. The Council may decide, however, not to renew the contract after the initial period, and to retender for the services required. Clearly, the priority is the successful delivery of the Services described in this ITT. The Council considers, however, that the implementation of new services provides an excellent opportunity to introduce change, and particularly the introduction of best market practices is seen as a key component of the tender. Tenderers are encouraged, therefore, to consider this requirement in formulating their response. ## CPV classification Financial and insurance services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/b507f393-cc01-4fb5-ae84-56658389cd45) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
