Lack of contractor oversight or weak KPIs can result in unnoticed underperformance. Contractor insolvency or withdrawal can disrupt essential services and require emergency procurement. Financial Risks Cost overruns due to poor scoping, inflation, or unexpected repairs. Lack of value for money if the contract is not benchmarked or competitively tendered. Budget misalignment if servicing costs exceed allocated funds, impacting other areas of the trust's operations. Governance and Oversight Risks Weak internal controls or lack of internal scrutiny (as required by the Academy Trust Handbook) can allow issues to go undetected. Operational and Educational Impact Disruption to teaching and learning if facilities are not maintained to a safe and functional standard. Health and safety incidents due to neglected statutory checks (e.g. legionella, asbestos). Loss of stakeholder trust (parents, staff, Ofsted) if the school environment is compromised."
