"riskDetails": "The below known unknown risks has been identified, which may require modification of the contract under paragraph 5 of Schedule 8 to the PA 2023 if one of the below identified risks materialise. Risk 1: The COVID-19 pandemic led to lockdown events, which disrupted the distribution and uptake of some national immunisation campaigns. The forecast delivery and stock requirements were substantially changed as a result. An ongoing risk is the materialisation of a UK health emergency or global pandemic, which may materialise in any given year. How the risk may impact on the performance of the contract: A health emergency or pandemic may materially affect the uptake of the product(s). Continued delivery of the product(s) within the original term of the contract could jeopardise stock management and effective use of product before expiry. Why is it not possible to address the potential impact of such risks? UKHSA and suppliers cannot reasonably predict the occurrence of a pandemic. UKHSA cannot determine an effective delivery schedule and contract term which would be effective during a pandemic to mitigate the risk of reduced uptake."
