6  Continuing Service

6.1  Where the Authority is entitled to serve notice under clause 5.3 or under clause 5.7, the Authority may, in lieu of the service of notice as provided in such clauses, give notice under this clause 6.1 that the Authority does not intend to step in, but that in consideration of the payment to the Sub-Contractor of a fee calculated on the same basis as the fee payable under the Sub-Contract, the Authority requires the Sub-Contractor to continue to provide services (the Continuing Service) to the Authority from the Termination Date or from such other date as the Authority may specify for a period of six (6) Months (the Extended Period) (as may be extended pursuant to clause 6.3) from the Termination Date, or such other date (as the case may be).

6.2  In the event that the Authority gives notice under clause 6.1 then the Sub-Contract shall terminate in accordance with its terms and the Sub-Contractor shall enter into a new contract in writing with the Authority (or its appointee) on terms and conditions no more onerous than those set out in the Sub-Contract together with such amendments as the Authority and the Sub-Contractor shall agree for the performance of the Continuing Service (which shall be the same as the Sub-Contract Services except to the extent varied by the Authority) in consideration of the payment by the Authority to the Sub-Contractor of a fee calculated on the same basis as the fee payable under the Sub-Contract.

6.3  If the Sub-Contractor and the Authority agree to continue the provision of the Continuing Services beyond the Extended Period, such extension shall be upon the terms and conditions that shall be no more onerous than those referred to in the Sub-Contract and/or the terms and conditions that have applied during the Extended Period as may be amended by agreement between the parties.
