8.  CONTRACT EXTENSIONS

8.1  Some contracts contain the rights to extend, (though in some these are tantamount to agreements to agree), or this may be proposed as part of a commercial negotiation. Issues that require consideration under contract extensions include (i) levels of control of the Facility (e.g. as to future alterations to the building); (ii) value for money; and (iii) the constraints of the procurement rules.

8.2  Any Authority that is considering any extension should take professional advice and contact SFT to discuss.
