Work Package One is the ‘guarantee’. Work Packages Two and Three are subject to further approvals (both internally, and externally), and so are options to extend should approval be given.
The end date given above is on the assumption that both Work Packages One and Two are proceeded with. Work Package One is the only ‘guarantee’, and so the end date may be earlier.
There is the option to extend the contract into 2019, and 2020 if needs be for the completion of Work Package Three.
