  The Services as detailed in the Contract and delivered by the Contractor may be subject to additional potential services and changes during the Contract Period in order to address and remain consistent with the wider operating environment including legislative changes impacting the vehicle testing regulations or market conditions, future changes to the Client’s policy and Operational Requirements, and its corresponding requirements of the Contract. The changes that this Section is concerned with may involve: i. changes to the volume of equipment/Services required from the Contractor (‘Volume-Based Equipment/Services’); ii. changes which result in new Services or amendments to Services being required during the Contract Period, which cannot be foreseen at the time of this procurement ('Optional Services'). The Client may increase or decrease the volume of the equipment/services during the Contract Period in line with changes in the Specification. This may be due to, for example, changes in the Client’s policy or policies, future changes in relation to development of the Test Centre Network, changes to the vehicle testing conditions or changes to the level of demand for vehicle testing. The changes may include, but are not limited to: • amending the number of lanes to be delivered under this Contract which may increase depending on future decisions and approvals for the Network; • allowing for the roll out of equipment (if required) as part of a refresh programme in line with any recommendations within future conditioning reports; • permitting the purchase of equipment or associated items which are used in conjunction with the vehicle testing equipment that have sustained damage outside of normal wear and tear and therefore not covered in the all-inclusive maintenance. Further detail is provided within section 12 of the Schedule 1 Specification document.
