Description of risks to contract performance

1. Higher utilisation of the framework agreement than planned, where the contract value is achieved earlier than the last framework in the framework series. 2. As EoE NHS CPH is establishing an open framework, we have anticipated reopening times through the term of the framework. There is potential that expected re-tendering procedures may take longer than as specified in the Invitation to Tender documents and may need to be amended. 3. Should a training and development need be identified throughout the framework term, EoE NHS CPH would consider its inclusion at the next reopening of the framework if it would drive efficiency and value for the NHS and other public sector bodies.
