"riskDetails": "It is anticipated, that during the life of this framework, the Local Government Reform (LGR) process will commence and/or progress potentially impacting this contract. Impacts may include, but are not limited to, modifications such as a novation of the legal entity you currently contract with, increases and/or decreases in the value/volume of services required due to the change in size/scope of the Contracting Authority, and/or changes to the scope of the nature of services required. Although any contract scope changes should broadly relate to the nature of the existing scope, new services of a related nature may be required that were not previously included. The scale and exact timing of the changes are unknown at this point, but it is known that LGR will impact Cambridgeshire County Council. All suppliers who work with the Authority need to be aware and where possible, work with the Authority to adapt to any changes/modifications as required to ensure smooth transition and continuity of services."
