The contract contains an option-to-renew clause whereby the Ministry reserves the right to renew but is under no obligation to renew the contract for another term, up to a maximum of 3 years total, subject to funding and satisfactory performance of the bidder. As renewal is not assured, contractors are cautioned to prepare their tender price on the basis of a single-term contract only.
