Total programme budget for R&D funding for Stages 1-2 is £640k. This equates to: Stage 2: Up to five suppliers will receive up to £50,000 each to develop a proof of concept. Stage 3: It is anticipated that up to three suppliers will receive up to £130,000 each to further develop and refine their solutions. Estimated Total Maximum Contract Value after Stage 4 (Inc. VAT): £2,000,000 Pricing Notes: This estimated maximum value assumes full adoption across all 6 partner Councils following Stage 4, modelled at approximately £100,000 per annum per Council. Because this is a challenge-based procurement, actual expenditure will depend on the final solution developed and subsequent commercial uptake across the participating authorities.
