The Department for Education have published supplier relief for schools guidance.

It states "This guidance is consistent with the advice previously issued to reflect Procurement Policy Note 02/20 (expired 30 June 2020) and Procurement Policy Note 04/20 (expired 31 October 2020)."

To note, they have not taken out the 'supplier at risk' stipulation. "In principle a supplier is deemed at risk where they are unable to fulfil the contractual obligations of a contract due to coronavirus (COVID-19) and are experiencing financial difficulties as a result."
