Make it a longer-term contract unless there's a good reason not to

Short-term contracts (one to three years) cause a lot of issues in the social sector. Longer-term contracts of three to five years generally help to support good relationships and continuous improvement.

Short-term contracts are suitable when:

  • the service or activity is truly of limited duration
  • the Government has announced a change of policy
  • there is uncertainty about the ability of the supplier to deliver.

Decide how long the contract will run
