Though it is difficult to give a definitive opinion on facts of a case without seeing the full facts and relevant documents, from your question it appears that the authority concerned is not terminating your services prior to expiry of the current contract which is / was up to 31 December (but, you are asking this question in February, so it is not clear how your contract of 6 months is expiring on 31 December). What is the authority appears to be doing is to intimate you that your contract would expire on 31 December. It does not appear to be termination prior to the contractual period during which a one-month notice or payment in lieu of that would have been required.
For a more definitive opinion, please show your documents to some local lawyer / expert.
