Delivery: London · LONDON
Extensions: If agreed by both parties, the Contract may be extended beyond the planned four-year contract duration by up to three years to complete tasks which may have been delayed in delivery, to complete an extension of the same evaluation activities linked to a similar extension of the CFA programme or to allow suitable time for handover to a new organisation following re-procurement of comparable services. Take up of any extension period is subject to the Authority’s approval and the continuing needs of the Contract. The Authority reserves the right to increase the budget of the contract to cover any extension period, and this decision would be based on the Authority’s available funds and priorities, as well as an assessment of the programme’s performance and the performance of the Contractor.Variant bids: not allowed
