The Contract will be let for an initial term of five (5) years. Prior to the expiry of the initial term, NTL may, at its sole discretion, exercise one (1) extension option for a further period of three (3) years, giving a potential maximum Contract duration of eight (8) years. The decision to exercise the extension option will be taken before the end of the initial term and will be dependent on the Contractor's demonstrated performance over the initial term and NTL's ongoing service requirements. In particular, extension will be subject to: - The Contractor consistently meeting or exceeding the agreed KPIs and performance standards set out in the Contract, including service delivery, statutory compliance, asset reliability, and adherence to reporting and governance requirements. - Delivery of agreed efficiency, continuous improvement, and value for money outcomes over the initial contract term. - The Contractor demonstrating the ability to maintain safe, compliant, and resilient operations across the estate. - Continued alignment with NTL's operational and business needs for integrated Total Facilities Management services. Where exercised, the extension is intended to support service continuity, enable long term planning, and allow the realisation of investment led benefits and efficiencies over the life of the Contract. The Contract duration will therefore be structured as follows: Initial Term: 5 years Extension Option: 3 years Maximum Contract Duration: 8 years total
