Tenders have already been invited for the Consultant appointment.

The contract will be awarded for an initial term of 5 years with the option to extend for 5 further years up to 10 years. Due to the nature of the contract, it is envisaged that orders issued will continue beyond 10 years. On this basis, the run-off period for orders issued during the contract term is up to 3 years beyond the contract term up to the total duration of 156 months stated above.
