Description of risks to contract performance

Local Government Re-organisation

a) On 16 July 2026, the Secretary of State confirmed the reorganisation of local government in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent into two new unitary authorities comprising:

a North Staffordshire Unitary Authority covering Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stoke-on-Trent and Staffordshire Moorlands; and

a South Staffordshire Unitary Authority covering Stafford, East Staffordshire, Cannock Chase, Lichfield, Tamworth and South Staffordshire;

b) the existing county, city, district and borough authorities within Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent are expected to be abolished and replaced by the new unitary authorities with effect from the relevant vesting date established by law, currently anticipated to be April 2028;

c) secondary legislation and transitional arrangements will be implemented by Government to give effect to the reorganisation; and

d) this Agreement may require transfer, assignment, novation or variation to give effect to the local government reorganisation and any statutory requirements arising from it.

Despite announcement of a pause on the process in September 2026, this remains a risk.
