Any future direct award will be subject to performance, monitoring, geographical need, activity need, and commissioner approval of the activity. The direct awards can be utilised throughout the lifetime of the Agreement.
Within the direct award there is capacity to undertake price refreshers and changes to activity delivery including venue and geographical demand zone.
