Changing supplier(s) and procurement activity would incur significant costs and delays to critical services and would carry additional risk to current service delivery timescales. The development of the deliverables and management of the live service is an iterative, agile process. DfE require sufficient handover and transition so as to not impact delivery and disrupt business continuity."
