II.2.11)Information about options
Options: yes
Description of options:

Please Note: the Project Team are currently waiting to hear about the success of a funding application for a Phase 2, which would extend the timescale and scope of the project even further until September 2023. Phase 2, if successful will have an additional budget (circa 150,000 EUR) for specific destination and product marketing relating to a new cross-border pilgrimage route; there is likely to be an overlap in terms of time frame between Phase 1 and Phase 2. Tenderers for this contract are not expected to take this into consideration within their bids, however, it is worth noting that they may be offered a contract extension to encompass this work should funding be forthcoming. See Annex 5 — Phase 2 Pilgrimage Product and Destination Marketing for an outline of Phase 2 aims and ambitions.

The extension to Phase 2 is dependent on:

— the Council’s application for additional funding for Phase 2 being approved,

— satisfactory performance and delivery by the successful tenderer during Phase 1.

The successful tenderer, at the request of the Council, prepares a detailed proposal and budget for Phase 2, which is subsequently agreed between the Council and the successful tenderer.

The procurement is related to a project and/or programme financed by European Union funds: yes
