Purpose

The peer advocacy contract was agreed to be
extended from 30 days to 59 days to give slightly more evaluation
time due to some last-minute changes in documentation as time
scales are extremely tight. This would result in a longer
mobilisation period, the current 30 day extension would have been a
tight turnaround for the providers, this decision will mitigate a
situation where there is a gap in service delivery.
