One of these changes could happen without the other. This risk is declared as a known risk as we do not yet understand the implications of that potential re-organisation. The contract/framework agreement may be assigned or novated or otherwise transferred to any successor authority(ies) to Suffolk County Council or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor.
