There are risks which may jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the Contract but, due to the nature of the risks, are unable to be addressed in the Contract as awarded. Where the relevant, conditions under Schedule 8 of the Act are satisfied, the modification of the Contract to remedy the identified risks would be treated as a permitted contract modification. The potential risks are additional costs that come as a result of; As a result of Local Government Reforms (LGR) there may be boundary changes, mergers, or reorganisations which may reshape service delivery models and require the system to support new operating models or data structures that cannot be delivered within the original system scope. Changes in statutory requirements may necessitate new system functionality that cannot be delivered within the original system scope. New statutory reporting, safeguarding or compliance obligations may require system redesign or additional modules that cannot be delivered within the original system scope. The deployment of new corporate platforms (finance, HR, CRM) may create integration requirements that the transport system cannot natively support. Changes in data governance expectations may require enhancements to system storage, audit trails, or consent management that the existing system cannot accommodate. Updates to accessibility standards may render parts of the system non-compliant, requiring interface changes that exceed the original design. Updates to mobile devices, operating systems, or onboard hardware may cause components of the system or associated apps to become incompatible or unsupported. These risks cannot be managed as part of the procurement process but if they were to materialise dialogue/negotiation would need to take place and any changes to the contract agreed by formal change control under the contract." }, "language": "en" }
