                <cbc:Justification languageID="ENG">Given the complexity of the financial structures, the need for continuity and consistency in the audit processes and the depreciation period of certain IDH’s investments, IDH intends to enter the Framework Agreement with the selected Consultant for an initial period of 3 years, with two extension options of 2 maximum years each, for a total of maximum 7 years. This enables the auditor to gain in-depth insight into the financial situation of the organisation and ensures the quality and reliability of the annual accounts’ audits. According to Article 2.140 paragraph 3 of the Duch Procurement Act 2012, a longer term than four years is possible in exceptional cases that are well justified. In this case, it was chosen to allow a longer term than four years to ensure that the Framework Agreement can be extended until at least end of 2030, which marks the end of the IDH Multi-Year Plan 2026 – 2030. This choice is mainly based on the significant importance of retaining the program and organization-specific knowledge of the contractor throughout the entire execution of the Multi-Year Plan 2026 – 2030.</cbc:Justification>
