A new contractor would require substantial time and resources which could delay service delivery and negatively impact continuity of care. Additionally, duplicative costs would be incurred through the reassessment of clients, reestablishment of care protocols, and potential retraining of staff to meet contractual and regulatory standards. These challenges not only strain financial resources but also risk destabilizing vulnerable individuals who rely on consistent and trusted care relationships, making the continuation with the existing provider the most stable and cost-effective solution."
