The Contractor will agree that the terms of the Contract shall apply to the course of dealings with participating Contracting Authorities. (Hereinafter all participating Police Forces (including the PCC) shall be known singularly as "each Authority" or "the Authority" and collectively as "the Authorities").

The contract will be for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend for one further period of up to a total of 12 months, subject to all parties agreeing, the price being acceptable and the satisfactory performance of the Contractor as agreed by the PCC and the CC.
