At the time, the possibility that a no deal may occur led to a saturation of the storage facilities available within the UK. As a result, DHSC was unable to locate alternative private storage facilities onshore. Therefore: a. A contract pause variation was implemented for December 2020 till February 2021, which enabled enough time for DHSC to obtain emergency storage facilities. b.
