HCC is required to submit its full plan for re-organisation to UK Government by November 2025, and any changes are estimated to take effect in April 2028 (although this is subject to change). Such changes could directly affect the structure, scope, or continuation of the contract beyond 1st April 2028. Whilst it is anticipated that existing contracts will be novated to the replacement authority, HCC can offer no guarantee at this stage."
