"noEngagementNoticeRationale": "No formal pre-procurement market engagement is planned for this exercise. A Pipeline notice was published in April 2025 to alert the market of this upcoming opportunity. The Corporate Marketing team maintain ongoing business-as-usual engagement with the market through existing supplier relationships and day-to-day service delivery. This ongoing engagement provides sufficient insight into market capability, emerging trends, and innovation, and has informed the development of the specification and contracting model. Given the maturity of the market, the continuity of requirements, and the Council's prior experience of operating a similar framework, additional formal market engagement is not considered necessary or proportionate for this procurement. The procurement approach has been designed to remain accessible to a broad range of suppliers, including SMEs, through clear requirements, proportionate entry criteria, and a pass/fail evaluation model."

"riskDetails": "Devolution/LGR The government wants all remaining two-tier areas in England to be eventually restructured into single-tier unitary authorities and is termed Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). This reorganisation is part of a broader devolution strategy to simplify local government structures, save public funds, and improve local accountability. It is anticipated, that during the life of this framework, the LGR process will commence and/or progress potentially impacting this framework and the call-off contracts awarded from it. Impacts most likely will include, novation of the legal entities you may contract with and increase/decrease in volume of activity through the framework. There are assignment clauses within the framework agreement that allow the Council to assign, novate etc. the agreements to another body."
