HS2 Ltd reserves the right to extend the term of the Framework Agreement from eight to ten years if one or more Station Contracts is delayed so that the anticipated timing of the call-offs set out in the PQP Outline Scope document cannot be achieved within the initial eight-year term.

The Framework Agreement will provide that Call-Off Contracts awarded before expiry of the Framework Agreement can extend beyond the 8 (or extended 10) year term of the Framework Agreement.
