The maximum length of the contract is therefore 4 years. The duration of the contract for Lot 3 is 4 years and no extensions available. The maximum length of the contract is 4 years. This tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system ‘City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal’ (https://cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/).
