Other information
Description of risks to contract performance
YPO has identified the following potential risks affecting this Contract:
Operating risk: The concessionaire will be exposed to an operating risk as defined in Section 8 of the Procurement Act 2023.
Nature of the Market: The construction market is fast evolving which may see a change of scope in the nature of the procurement tools, new procurement routes and advances in AI technology, which is unknown at this time. To mitigate this risk YPO have made the specification wide.
Contract Value: Throughout the 10 year duration of this partnership contract it is possible that the contract value could be exceeded. Due to complexity of the market, changes in legislation and customer buying patterns, it is a known risk that Contract value may exceed estimated total value.
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
