"riskDetails": "The recent legislative expansion mandating the provision of period products to a broader range of end users—beyond pupils and students—introduces a degree of uncertainty that may impact contract performance. The extended scope potentially includes staff and visitors across participating bodies, for whom no historical usage data exists. While an additional contingency has been factored into the Framework value, actual demand levels remain difficult to forecast with precision and may exceed anticipated thresholds.\nOther risks to satisfactory performance include:\nProduct Unavailability or Recall: There is a risk of supply chain disruptions or product recalls, particularly affecting branded items. This is mitigated through the appointment of multiple suppliers across sections within Lot 1, alongside a mechanism allowing Suppliers from the unbranded sanitary towels section (Lot 2) to deliver in the event of supplier failure or no award.\nManufacturer-Led Product Changes: Alterations to product specifications—such as pack sizes, formulations, or packaging—may affect perceived value or suitability. The Specification includes allowances for reasonable modifications where products continue to provide best value for money.\nLegislative or Regulatory Shifts: Future changes to environmental, public health, or product safety legislation may necessitate updates to product requirements. The Specification has been designed to accommodate such changes without requiring separate procurement action.\nVariable Uptake by Participating Bodies: Participation by bodies such as LibrariesNI remains unconfirmed. Should they onboard during the life of the Framework—subject to approval from the Education Authority—the resulting increase in demand could be substantial and is not currently reflected in contingency values. In such a scenario, a contract modification may be required to safeguard ongoing delivery.\nThese risks have been identified as \"known unknown\" risks.",
