This could be due to: Changes in legislation, NICE guidance, quality standards and/or best practice, relating to services being provided under this Contract. The changing needs of service users. The changing geographical footprint of Torbay local authority boundary due to a result of Local Government Reorganisation reforms. Changes in data reporting systems used as determined by developments made by NHS Digital and / or the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities. Modification required if risk arises: This would be discussed and agreed between the Authority and the Supplier, using appropriate evidence and cost modelling specific to the change required. This may involve the absorption of other services currently outside of the Torbay geographical area including TUPE of staff. The Supplier will be responsible for providing calculations and supporting information of costs to the Authority where applicable. Risk 3. Description of risk: Change to service requirements as a result of unforeseen circumstances including but not limited to: New government legislation, mandate, and / or policy. Changes to existing government legislation, mandate and / or policy. Public health or other critical events. Modification required if risk arises: The Authority will work with the Supplier collaboratively to determine a solution. Modifications may be required to maintain or adapt service delivery and results in different structures, delivery models, interventions, or other requirements (e.g. responsibility for commissioning Treating Tobacco Dependence is transferred from the NHS to the local authority). Future epidemics or pandemics may result in the requirement of the services to rapidly stand up, increase, suspend, or terminate contacted elements in response to these outbreaks, or equivalent issues. Changes would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and any additional costings or return of any accrued underspend would be agreed upon by both parties, ensuring the budget remains aligned with the revised scope of services including the return of any unrequired funds paid in advance.

The Authority will provide the Supplier with current contractual terms and fee structures to support the transition. Risk 5. Description of risk: Take on management of the contract for stop smoking prescribing in GP practices (currently held directly between Torbay Council and GP pharmacies), to ensure the continued efficiency and effectiveness of service provision. Changes required might be due to the implementation of the Integrated Care System and/or closer working between Local Authorities which may change the footprint of the commissioned service.
