Under the DPP it is proposed that: a) a Mayoral Combined County Authority (MCCA) for Norfolk and Suffolk is established, with strategic powers and headed by an elected mayor (\"Devolution\"). b) the existing two-tier council structure in Suffolk is abolished and replaced with three unitary councils covering the current geographical boundary of Suffolk (\"LGR\"). These changes are declared as known risks as we do not yet know the implications of Devolution and/or LGR. As a result of LGR and Devolution, contract modifications may be necessary to Call Offs as Customers become a part of other authorities or the MCAA. Concertus Suffolk and/or the Framework may novate, transfer or disaggregate to one or more successor authorities, undertakings or the MCAA."
