"riskDetails": "Key uncertainties include the continuity of future funding, the long-term effectiveness of behavioural interventions, and evolving external pressures such as changes in policy or community dynamics. Additionally, unexpected disruptions like sudden public health crises or unforeseen shifts in local circumstances may create challenges that the current program design does not fully anticipate. These factors could impact the programme's ability to meet its objectives within the agreed timelines and resources, potentially requiring adjustments to ensure ongoing effectiveness and compliance with contract terms. In response, the programme is actively addressing known risks related to low physical activity levels, established access barriers, and existing funding structures, which are well-documented within the tender. To mitigate both known and unknown risks, the NERS Programme commits to embedding adaptive planning processes, strengthening communication and coordination among partner organizations, and conducting regular reviews of delivery insights. This proactive approach allows early identification of emerging risks and opportunities, providing a justified basis for contract modifications if necessary to safeguard the satisfactory performance and long-term success of the programme.",
