These risks include: The University has identified electrical loads that are considered critical where the risk to business continuity and the consequences of mains failure is deemed to be so high that effective 100% generator backup must always be maintained. The impact on the contract could lead to buildings having to be closed affecting research and loss of data. It is known that there may be potential for development of the delivered requirements or their application which may result in the need for additional consumables or development, which cannot be adequately quantified or estimated at this time,",
