To note this 'Tail-end' period would be expected to run in parallel with any potential replacement contract for the core services, where there is a change of supplier. Note also that due to the demand-led nature of services, and a service mix which involves different VAT treatments for different elements, the actual / final ex VAT value of the modification may ultimately vary from that stated within this notice.",
