- Risks
There is a risk that in the event that North Somerset Council joins the Mayoral Combined Authority they may elect to more completely integrate with systems under the contract to the same level as the other Unitary Authorities. This would require an amendment to the Specification.
In this event the Authority will provide the winning supplier with all necessary information to produce a quote for the required amendment.
