Published risks
The ‘Known Risks’ below have been identified by the Council independently, and where applicable, as part of any Preliminary Market Engagement undertaken. If you are aware of any additional risks, or require clarity on the risks detailed, please send your queries or suggested updates via the messaging facility on the Council’s Supplier Portal before the deadline for clarification. The primary material risk associated with this service is that the Homes for Ukraine Scheme is nationally determined and funded, and its continuation, scale, or scope may change in line with Government policy or funding decisions.
