requirements are similar and or complementary to the services already included in the Specification, at any
given time. Such expansion would be by the addition of services commissioned by the Authority and / or
other Contracting Authorities, as named in the Contract Notice. To this end, the Bidder should be aware
that after the award of contract, there is a possibility that the successful Bidder may be offered a variation
to the contract to include services in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (a) of the Public Contracts
