Indicators
- Contract modified due to unforeseen circumstances.
Legal Justification
Since March 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic has required library stakeholders to focus their efforts on a shift to digital resource provision in support of new teaching practices. These challenges continue in March 2021. Shifts in supply and practice have entailed new suppliers, business models, licencing terms, and pricing structures as well as development of new skills, relationships and working practices. This in turn has created a greater reliance on the contracting authority for support. This has happened in the context of national lockdowns and the challenges of working from home and home schooling of children.
