Questions asked by suppliers

1. Please can you confirm the budget range and how the figure was reached? £135k for a team of 9 strong PMO team for 6 months (25 weeks / 125 days) = £120 per day for each resource?
Reason for budget range - this is the maximum available budget for this service/project.
Can I just double check your budget range. £135K for 9 PMO's over 6 months works out at just over £575 per week for each PMO. Is that right? Yes
Do I need all 9 for the entire 9 months? I assume the “9 months” is a typo and should have read “6 months”. And Yes is the answer to the question
Is there any flexibility with the budget? No
