Budget estimate

$1,500,000 – $3,000,000

Given that the contract is for a period of 3 years and the provider will be responsible for delivering alternative assessments, the budget could be substantial. However, without specific details on the pricing or the number of assessments to be delivered, it's difficult to estimate the exact budget. Assuming an average annual budget of $500,000 to $1,000,000 for similar contracts, the total budget for this contract could be in the range of $1,500,000 to $3,000,000. This is a rough estimate and the actual budget could be higher or lower depending on various factors such as the scope of work, the number of assessments, and the pricing.
