"riskDetails": "The estimated value of contracts awarded following this procurement process are based upon modelled student numbers and historic data. Student numbers may fluctuate over the life of the contracts and therefore the individual contract values may increase or decrease over the contracted period. The price per student is fixed for this requirement and an increase or decrease in student numbers will have no impact on the price per student cost. Therefore, there is the possibility that a modification under the Materialisation of Known Risk ground may be required at some point during the life of the contract."
