There are no known immediate risks to performance during the initial eighteen months of this contract however the future licencing of the most commonly used herbicide is not certain at the time of this notice. Should the licence not be renewed any changes to the contract will be agreed between both parties in writing with a variation. However, a key strategic risk relates to potential future policy changes surrounding devolution and governance arrangements. Such changes could directly affect the structure, scope, or continuation of the contract beyond the fixed term. 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 clear communication will be provided should any material change arise. Such changes will be agreed between both parties in writing with a variation.",
