Review and risk notes
Risks
This notice is issued to correct an error in the transparency notice published on 30 March 2026 at 11:54 (Notice ID: 2026/S 000‑029013, OCID: ocds‑h6vhtk‑0677a3). The original notice incorrectly identified the supplier. This corrective notice supersedes the supplier information contained in that publication. All other more…details of the procurement remain unchanged. The delivery of Mechanical & Electrical (M&E) services across the Council’s estate involves a number of inherent operational risks that could affect contract performance. These risks relate primarily to the essential nature of statutory compliance activities, the complexity of the estate, and the accelerated mobilisation required for interim arrangements. There is a risk that the compressed mobilisation period may lead to short‑term challenges in onboarding, gaining access to systems, and achieving full operational familiarity with the Council’s diverse buildings and assets. Any delays in mobilisation could impact the timely delivery of statutory inspections, servicing, and maintenance activities. The transition between providers introduces additional risks, including the potential for gaps in information transfer, variations in asset data quality, and the need for rapid familiarisation with existing plant, equipment, and control systems. These factors may affect the continuity and efficiency of service delivery during the early stages of the contract. Given the critical nature of M&E functions, unforeseen issues arising during mobilisation or early delivery—such as access constraints, resource availability, or the discovery of previously unidentified asset conditions—could affect statutory compliance or operational resilience. Wider external factors, including supply chain pressures, specialist labour availability, and changes in regulatory requirements, also present potential risks to performance. The Council will mitigate these risks through close contract management, structured mobilisation planning, clear performance monitoring arrangements, and regular communication with the interim provider. These measures are designed to maintain continuity of essential services and ensure that statutory and safety‑related obligations continue to be met throughout the interim period.
