The Letter Of Intent To Extend Contract is a crucial document in Qatar's business environment, used when parties wish to express their formal intention to continue their contractual relationship beyond the initial term. This document type is particularly relevant in situations where the original contract is approaching its expiration date, but parties need time to negotiate extension details or obtain internal approvals. Operating under Qatar law, particularly the Civil Code (Law No. 22 of 2004), this document serves as a bridge between the existing contract and its formal extension, providing clarity on the intended duration, terms, and conditions of the extension. It's commonly used in both government and private sector contracts, especially in long-term business relationships where continuous service or performance is critical. The document helps maintain business continuity while protecting both parties' interests through clear communication of extension intentions and terms.
