Given the wide variations in scope and nature of the various types of assignment foreseen in the tender specifications; can any indication as to the likely length of specific agreement duration might be (or at least the potential range by audit type)?

There is no standard pre-defined duration for the specific contracts. However, the duration cannot exceed that of the framework contract + 9 months (see Art I.3.4 of the Framework contract). In practice, the duration of a contract should be between 6 and 12 months. This is an indicative range that cannot be taken as a commitment for future specific agreements.
