It marks the point when the present contract period stops. Think of the current term as the contract period that is in effect now. The end date is the calendar date for that stopping point.

Here, "end date" labels the field for the calendar date when the contract's current term stops.
- Situation

Meaning limits
The term by itself does not say whether the contract will be renewed, extended, or otherwise continue after that date.
Examples
“The contract's end date is 30 June, while any later renewal is still undecided.”
“After the amendment shortened the current term, the assistant changed End Date to 31 May.”
