On two contracts this year I started to apply two weeks before the end date. On both they both stated that an extension was dependent on budget. First project extended for an extra 6 weeks and by the time budget ran out I moved on to the 2nd. That one that tried to
call it a month early as I finished on time and so contingency was not needed, they used me on another project for the last month and said there would be loads more projects once they had won their bids.
So with two weeks to go I got another offer, told existing client who wanted 1st option and then failed to
come back to me. So I took the next one.
So far since I started back in jan, no bench time with contracts 3 and 4 running concurrently.
So apply until you have a signed extension
