    Brief

    This is a central contract procured through the Specialist Professional Services (NEPRO³) framework to help the National Lottery Community Fund obtain specialist professional services. The contract runs for an initial 2-year term valued up to £1,500,000, with an optional 1-year extension valued up to £500,000. This amendment corrects the original contract notice, which incorrectly stated the initial term value as £500,000 and listed the extension as 2 years instead of 1 year. Suppliers should note the corrected financial and temporal terms when considering this opportunity.
