Review and risk notes

Risks: Alternative service providers may utilise consumables, accessories, or replacement parts sourced through different manufacturers or supply chains. This would necessitate further assessment and assurance activities before implementation. The associated cost, resource burden, and operational disruption are considered disproportionate when compared with the benefits that may be achieved through a supplier change. A risk-based approach consistent with UHL Medical Device Policy and MHRA guidance.
