This extension will allow sufficient time for the completion of this tender exercise and the conclusion of any TUPE transfers. If the current incumbent is successful, the recommendation would be to end the extension period and move to the new contract as soon as possible, taking account of the position in relation to Lot 1 of the current competition."
