However, it is currently anticipated that the Qualification System will apply for a period of 10 years from the date of its establishment with the option to extend at the Contracting Entity’s discretion (having regard to the nature, scope and extent of works required to be undertaken). The Contracting Entity reserves the right to terminate the Qualification System at any time at its absolute discretion.
