Serco already have personnel deployed to the sites. If a contractor other than Serco was to deliver the requirement, then additional personnel would need to be deployed to the sites, using scarce accommodation.\nWith multiple Serco personnel already present at the RRHs, there should be a greater degree of resilience in the support available. Serco\u0027s existing presence at the site is considered essential to the ability to deliver the requirement, given the overall logistical challenges, including limited onsite accommodation.\nThe RRHs often suffer from significant disruption to their transport connections during the winter and the accommodation is basic. Therefore, personnel need to be deployed to the sites to deliver the requirements.\nThis amendment value does not exceed 50% of the original contract value, which was \u00a328M ex VAT.",
