- Date of last procurement?

- Start date & duration of framework/contract?
- Could you please provide a copy of the service/product specification given to all bidders for when this contract was last advertised?
- Is there an extension clause in the framework(s)/contract(s) and, if so, the duration of the extension?
- Has a decision been made yet on whether the framework(s)/contract(s) are being either extended or renewed?

Dear [email address],
Many thanks for your response and the documents you sent.
You mention blue text, I'm afraid all of the text is black, can you please specify which contract is held by the
Community Safety team and which is held by the rough sleeping team?
Can you also please outline the current staffing model for both contracts?
Yours sincerely,
Jasmine Faith
