Legal Justification
• One of the critical issues of concern at the end of the first contract term (31 March 2021) was mitigation of the critical risk of diminished lot control and traceability (as required by MHRA) incurred by moving freight from the existing facility to any new facility that would have probably accompanied a change of supplier.• The high demand for import of T&T freight into the UK at the end of the first contract term necessitated remaining with the existing supplier, rather than run the serious risk of threatening the logistics flow.• The use of the Uniserve GTM and DOMO reporting system to ensure traceability and data integrity would also have been threatened by switching to another supplier representing a risk for data transfer and input.• The end of the first contract coincided with a change in the pattern of freight movement through the facility from single mode and single supplier to splitting and sorting freight for rail/air and the supplier addition of Kuehne + Nagel. This had the effect of significantly increasing the complexity of the operation and associated management and tracking of lots. Changing supplier at that point would have represented a significant risk to operational resilience.
