Known risks: Supplier insolvency or bankruptcy, leading to service disruption, loss of materials, and potential financial loss. Non-performance, where the supplier fails to meet agreed milestones or timelines. Transition risk - no clear exit plan causing disruption if the supplier changes or withdraws. Poor delivery quality or substandard performance due to insufficiently trained or inexperienced supplier personnel. Decommissioning of buildings. New buildings not yet constructed. Merger with another university/college."
