  As outlined in the Changes in Scope section within the procurement documents, during the course of the contract there may be an option to add New Sites to the grazing programme as and when new clients approach the Authority with grazing requirements. It is also possible that some clients will reach a point where they no longer require the Services. While this is uncommon, the Authority reserves the right to remove Sites from the Grazing Programme.
