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."
