Contract Award Notice (Extension) Provision of Evaluation Research Support
Notice Description
Contract Award Notice: Extension of Provision of Evaluation Research Support This Contract was initially awarded following a competition using CCS Framework RM6126 Research & Insights. An additional PS125,000 has been awarded through the activation of the Optional Extension Clause within the Contract terms. The Department is currently assessing options for the future delivery of this service. Subject to requirements, this may include launching a new procurement competition, which will be timed to ensure that a replacement contract is awarded once the additional extension funding has been fully utilised.
