Payments of the Charges shall be made via the Controcc system each quarter in advance, for one quarter of the annual Charges. Payment will normally be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of a correct invoice."
},
"riskDetails": "The Contract will be based on the Council's standard contract terms included with the tender documents. There are no known immediate risks to performance during the initial three-year fixed term of this contract. However, a key strategic risk relates to future UK policy changes abolishing the Police and Crime Commissioner's Office (who will be a party to the contract) and local government reorganisation and devolution arrangements. Such changes could directly affect the structure, scope, or continuation of the contract during the initial 3 year contract term and beyond. While no decisions have been made at this stage, the contracting authority is actively monitoring the evolving landscape. Suppliers should be aware that any resulting implications will be managed in accordance with applicable legislation and the contract terms, particularly the Change Control provisions at paragraph 3 of Schedule 7 of the draft contract. These include the parties cooperating in good faith to agree the terms of any required change, and if the parties cannot agree the change a right for the contracting authority to terminate the contract on not less than 3 months' written notice to the Contractor."
