A copy of the work sheet should also be attached. Where an invoice covers work carried out in several buildings, the costs associated with each building should be clear. Invoices submitted which do not meet the above criteria will be returned to the Supplier for amendment."
},
"riskDetails": "Risks that Queen's considers could either jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the public contract, or may require a subsequent modification to the contract under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 to the Procurement Act 2023 are detailed within the Specification. The Specification forms part of the associated tender documents, which can be accessed via the link provided within this notice. These risks include: During the contract period it may become impossible or uneconomic to source replacement parts etc., particularly for older systems. This may require part or all of the sensors, control panels or entire gas detection system to be replaced by the Supplier, where a sensor cell or more minor repair was anticipated. It is known that there may be potential for technical developments in gas detection systems which may result in the need for alternative systems or parts from those currently in use, which cannot be adequately quantified or estimated at this time, pending future technical developments.",
