The modification agrees between the Parties to extend the Contract for a period of 18 months and confirms timeframes for invoking the Termination Assistance Period, provided for within the Contract. This modification is made in accordance with the safe harbour of Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015. In addition, we do not consider this to be a substantial modification and so the modification is also made in accordance with the safe harbour of Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.",
