Provide the contractual flexibility for any subsequent changes to ongoing service design necessitated by Covid-19 measures and any associated Policy changes made, during the extension period. Transition to a Cost Plus funding model for the extension period to strike the right level of risk ownership to drive optimal performance and to address the continuing impact of Covid-19. The impact of COVID-19 has been, and continues to be, very significant. The assessment service has had to be very quickly adapted, in particular to suspend face to face assessments and mobilise alternative methods of delivery to support claimants. Alongside this departmental and supplier staff and resources have had to be restructured and redeployed to help deliver DfC and the wider governments 's operational response to COVID-19. DWP has also consulted with the market on the impacts of COVID-19. Given that UC, ESA and the numerous other smaller benefits are critical statutory welfare benefits that cater for vulnerable people, a gap in service provision is not an option.",

Extensions to the existing contracts are needed to fully understand and evaluate the impacts of COVID-19 ahead of future procurements as well as to stabilise the assessment service."
