Over two-thirds of respondents preferred a single contract to allow for better strategic oversight, operational and financial economies of scale and to maximise consistency of service for residents. This was the preferred option of SMEs and larger organisations alike and RBWM agreed with their rationale."

In the event that this project is retained by RBWM, the Authority reserves the right to increase the financial envelope by an amount between \u00a315,000 - \u00a360,000 per annum (with allowances for inflation in accordance with Annex C) to support the project. In the event that it is not retained by RBWM, the Authority reserves the right to utilise this funding to top-up existing Services. This shall be priced utilising the Bidder\u0027s pricing schedule submission. \nDiscretionary: the Authority may have grounds maintenance requirements for Authority flooding and drainage features. The Authority reserves the right to increase the financial envelope (with allowances for inflation in accordance with Annex C) to incorporate these Services and this shall be priced utilising the Bidder\u0027s pricing schedule submission. \nDiscretionary: Annexes A.1 and A.2 at the time of publishing this tender exclude the geography of Cookham. In the event this geography re-enters the scope of this Contract, the Authority reserves the right to increase the financial envelope (with allowances for inflation in accordance with Annex C) to incorporate these Services and shall be priced utilising the Bidder\u0027s pricing schedule submission. \nDiscretionary: the Authority is proposing a 5+5+5 years Contract term and it is anticipated that the Authority may acquire new estates or land throughout this term or, otherwise, existing estates or land that have become the responsibility of the Authority. Some of these acquisitions may be significant in nature and, as such, may require significant financial increases; however, the Authority does not guarantee that these acquisitions will take place. These acquisitions may require grounds maintenance services and may be incorporated into the Contract. The Authority reserves the right to increase the financial envelope (with allowances for inflation in accordance with Annex C) and increases shall be priced utilising the Bidder\u0027s pricing schedule submission. \nDiscretionary: the Authority may, from time to time, have exceptional ad-hoc requirements pertaining to ceremonial events (e.g. state visits, funerals, weddings) and extreme weather events. These events may require grounds maintenance Services. The Authority cannot enumerate in advance an exhaustive list of events of this nature. The Authority may, in the first instance, re-direct the Bidder\u0027s resources. However, where required, the Authority reserves the right to make unique and temporary increases to the financial envelope - such increases shall be priced utilising the Bidder\u0027s pricing schedule submission. \nDiscretionary: the Authority may, from time to time, be in receipt of external funding (e.g. grant funding) that could be used to enhance the Services. The Authority reserves the right to make unique and temporary increases to the financial envelope - such increases shall be priced utilising the Bidder\u0027s pricing schedule submission."
