## Description
In 2019 Newcastle City Council "the Council" awarded a contract to Biffa Waste Services Ltd "the Contractor" for the provision of servicing, treatment and disposal of separate materials collected from the City's three Household Waste Recycling Centres ("the Contract"). The Contract start date was 8 July 2019 with an initial term of 2 years and 2 x 12-month extension options. The Council has exercised both of those options, thereby giving a current contract expiry date of 7 July 2023. Due to circumstances which it could not have foreseen (as explained more fully in section VI.3) Additional information below, the Council proposes to make a contract modification to extend the term of the Contract by a further 23 months and 24 days. This modification will result in a revised contract expiry date of 30 June 2025.
