Description
The inclusion of a 12-month extension option is primarily to provide flexibility in the event that follow-up audit schedules are adjusted or delayed. Audit timelines can shift due to factors such as resource availability, changes in regulatory requirements, or unforeseen operational constraints. By allowing for an extension, we ensure continuity of service without the need for a new procurement process, maintain compliance with NIS obligations, and avoid any gaps that could impact audit readiness or certification status.
