    "description": "During the course of the contract period the range and scope of these services may be subject to modification and variation to meet the changing needs and requirements of the Council and partners, potential changes in legislation and the changing demands placed on the Council by its customers. These changes may include (but are not limited to): - * Increases or decreases in funding - this will usually be due to reductions or additions in budget allocations as part of the Council and partners' budget setting processes, It may also be as a consequence of additional funding streams which were unknown at the time of awarding the contract but which are provided to increase the volume of services delivered. * * Changes in legislation that may for example require the inclusion of new customer groups * The identification of additional service recipients, not originally captured by the scope of the contract . Opportunities offered by emerging/ new technologies * Ongoing performance monitoring indicating a change required in allocations made for each service element from the overall funding amount Warwickshire County Council will be using its e-tendering system (CSW-JETS) for the administration of this procurement process. Providers must register with the system (if they haven't previously done so) in order to be able to express an interest in the project and download documents.
