Sounds like government should consider that before choosing to enter into contracts that constrain them then doesn't it? If it needs the flexibility it should not choose to limit the flexibility voluntarily and contractually.

Well yes and no. Ultimately if the contract was between 2 other parties they could unilaterally end it. It only follows that if they are one of the parties they can still unilaterally end it.
