What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Marcus Bell flagged the contract end on 18 Aug 2026. Finance Director Pauline Metcalfe replied the next morning that Linthorpe would like to renew and would come back with a time. The thread shows no later reply.
Ask: Marcus gave notice that the contract runs to 18 Aug 2026 and offered a call to walk through usage.
Customer view: Pauline said "We'd like to renew" and would arrange a time with her team. That is a clear intent to renew from the finance buyer, with no price or scope discussion yet.
Next: the 18 Aug 2026 date is before the as-of date and the thread does not show the call or any order form, so the renewal outcome is not evidenced here.

- Marcus Bell 20 May 2026 15:59Hi Pauline, I hope you're well. I wanted to give you a heads-up that your contract with us runs to 18 August 2026. We should get the renewal sorted over the coming months to keep things running smoothly. I'm happy to jump on a call to walk through your usage and answer any questions. Thanks, Marcus
