The Council has considered paragraph 5, Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 (UKPGA 2023/54) and identified an indicative suite of potential known risks that may materialise and in doing so may jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the Contract but, which due to their nature, are unable to be addressed in the Contract as awarded. Where the relevant conditions under paragraph 5, Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 (UKPGA 2023/54) are satisfied, the Council may make a future modification of the Contract to remedy the risks, as a permitted contract modification. For this procurement, Known Risk risks, which may materialise, and which are not otherwise already provided for in the Contract include but are not limited to the indicative suite of potential risks set out in Table D, below. This list must not be considered as exhaustive, and the Council reserves the right to amend the list during the course of the procurement process (In the event that it does so, all Potential Suppliers will be notified). It should also be noted that there may be further risks identified within the Contract term which are subject to permissible modification under other parts of Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 (UKPGA 2023/54). Potential Suppliers are reminded that consideration of the materialisation of any known risk, or any other reasons for potential modification of the Contract will not be accepted as a reason to change the risk share in the Council on the pricing, or otherwise. Known Risks Which May Materialise (Paragraph 5, Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 (UKPGA 2023/54)) and/or Other Risks Which May Arise and Require a Contract Modification Under Schedule 8 of the Procurement Act 2023 (UKPGA 2023/54), Other Than Paragraph 5 Known Risk 1. Introduction of Additional Public Spaces Protection Orders The Council may introduce new Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) during the term of the Contract or may vary existing PSPOs to address emerging environmental crime or anti-social behaviour issues. The introduction of additional PSPOs could significantly increase enforcement activity, staffing requirements, training requirements, administration, data reporting, and management oversight. The extent of any increase cannot be accurately quantified at the commencement of the Contract. The Council is unable to determine at this stage whether additional PSPOs will be required, the nature of any future restrictions, the geographic scope of such PSPOs, or the corresponding enforcement demand. Should this risk materialise, the Council reserves the right to modify the Contract to reflect changes in service requirements, staffing levels, performance measures, operational arrangements, and/or contract value. 2. Significant Increase in Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) Volumes The volume of environmental offences and resulting FPNs may exceed forecast levels during the Contract term. This could result in additional officer deployment, increased administrative processing, appeals management, debt recovery activity, reporting requirements, and customer enquiries. Actual levels of offending, compliance rates and enforcement demand are influenced by external factors and cannot be reliably predicted throughout the Contract term. Should enforcement activity substantially exceed initial assumptions, the Council may seek to modify the Contract to ensure sufficient resources are available to maintain service performance. 3. Changes in Enforcement Priorities Emerging environmental issues, resident concerns, legislative changes, or strategic priorities may require enforcement resources to be redirected and/or expanded. The Council cannot accurately predict future environmental crime trends or community concerns over the life of the Contract and therefore may modify the Contract Scope, performance framework, specification, or resource requirements where necessary.
