Re: Can we amend the expired contract? My opinion is that any contract has a specified life in itself. A procuring Entity can add life (by Extension) to a living contract before it is declared dead and buried(Expiry). Once a contract is dead (by way of expiry) it can not be returned back to life.
1 The stated effective date applies the terms retroactively or prospectively. 2  If the contract is signed, but not dated, the contract goes into effect on the stated effective date. 3  If there is no stated effective date, the contract goes into effect when the party offered the contract signs it.
