only being in the early stages of the process the Council cannot give any commitment on these figures but would like to build scope into the Contract should the need arise. Additional Sites may be added as part of the ever changing council portfolio of sites. Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is underway in several areas across the country and may result in changes to council structures, service delivery and responsibilities, and geographical coverage during the life of the contract. For this contract it is anticipated that the effects of LGR may lead to an increased service demand or the need to extend provision to new areas or client groups.
