Spanish term or phrase: ampliación a las contrataciones
Buenas tardes,

El texto a continuación es parte de un documento sobre la política de adquisición de bienes y contratación de servicios de consultoría y tengo una duda, hasta un tanto trivial, de que si "contrataciones" en este caso debo traducirlo como "contracting" aunque por el contexto me da la impresión que sería mejor dejarlo como "contract[s]".

A propósito, el texto es parte de la sección "Excepciones":

EXCEPCIONES
Se puede realizar una ampliación a las contrataciones siempre y cuando ésta no supere un monto mayor al 25% de la contratación inicial y que el monto original más la ampliación no superen el procedimiento de contratación; si se supera el monto se debe realizar una contratación nueva cumpliendo los procedimientos establecidos según corresponda.

En los casos de contratación en las que no se recibe el número de ofertas que se requiere como mínimo y si existe causa razonable (calidad de la oferta, necesidad inmediata del bien o servicio, disponibilidad de oferentes, otras), se podrá solicitar al Representante de País la no objeción para adjudicar con esta condición.

contract variation


Explanation:
contract extension refers to "the extension of terms (length of the contract). I prefer "contract variation" when the change implies including other services (widening the range of the contract).
