They may increase or decrease. The actual contract value and activity levels may defer during the period of service provision due to factors beyond commissioner’s control such as increase/decrease in population of the local area, closure of other nearby dental surgeries due to unforeseen reasons, patients preference for the other dental surgeries etc. 1.5 Contract Duration As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement will be established with the successful bidder for a period of 5 years with the possibility of further 5 years extension.
