The has been taken on the basis that the contract value has been reduced by 5% per year since the contract was awarded, and the contract value will reduce by a further 5% over this extension period.
Re-competing / re-tendering the contract is unlikely to bring a saving of this kind.
The current contract is also performing very well.
• One of the options considered would be for the contract to simply come to an end.
• A second alternative would be to re-tender the service.
• A third and preferred option would be to continue the service.
