The overall contract value is estimated at GBP £900,000 over 5 years' (the maximum contract length) i.e. GBP £180,000 per annum (excluding VAT where applicable) - note there are no guarantees on spend levels. We also reserve the right to spend an additional 50% of the original anticipated spend, subject to changes to requirements across the University for the duration of the award.
