Explanation:

During the uncertainty of the pandemic many contracts were not fully utilised, this contract in particular started January 2020 a short time before the UK was forced in to Lockdown measures.

Due to those unforeseen circumstances the Trainee Accommodation contract could not be used as businesses were forced to close their doors.
