What is being bought
The NEPO512 - Translation and Interpreting Services DPS commenced on 1 September 2020 for a term of 60 months and was due to expire on 31 August 2025.
The purpose of this notice is to extend the period of validity of the DPS for a period of 36 months from 31 August 2025 to 31 August 2028.
