The DOS contract allows for a 25% of the original contract term for extension. NICE will assess the project at that time, although we do feel that more work may be required which we would use the extension clause. After that should any further work be required we would re-procure. 4. Please could you confirm whether the engagement will be inside or outside IR35? We have carried out the test using the HMRC tool but without the specific supplier information the result is ‘indeterminant’. We will therefore re run the HMRC IR35 test at supplier award but before committing to the contract. The result of that final test will be binding 5. Is this contract likely to be extended?
