The contract allows room for adaptation to potential changes in fleet size or vehicle requirements due to regional structural changes like the creation of the East Midlands Combined County Authority. As such, companies that can offer flexible and adaptable training solutions may have a competitive edge in securing future extensions or additional services under this contract.
