6.3 The General Procedure shall be operated in respect of Board Service Variations so that the variation in Project Co's costs used to assess the effect of the Qualifying Variation under the General Procedure shall be the actual variation in costs which Project Co and the relevant Service Provider will incur in order to implement the Service Variation (whilst preserving (but not increasing) any margin charged by Project Co and the Service Provider on their respective costs). Project Co shall obtain from the relevant Service Provider and disclose to the Board's Representative the costs of providing the Service to which the Board Service Variation relates for the period from and including the last preceding Market Testing Date (if any) or the Payment Commencement Date (as the case may be) together with the Service Provider's computation of the variation in its costs resulting from the Board Service Variation, taking into account:
(a) existing labour rates applying to providers of services which correspond to the Service to which the Board Service Variation relates, in the open market;
(b) resulting changes in the Service Provider's workforce including costs and provisions associated with the Transfer Regulations and/or the Directive;
(c) the changes in the Method Statements and Service Level Specifications and any other Variations to this Agreement arising out of the Board Service Variation;
(d) any change in risk transfer; and
(e) changes in working methods including associated capital investment (and the costs of providing such capital) reasonably required to be made by Project Co or the relevant Service Provider other than Variations in the Facilities which fall to be dealt with under Sections 1 or 2 of this Part 22 of the Schedule.
6.4 If the Board Service Variation will result in any employees of Project Co and/or the relevant Service Provider becoming redundant, the costs of any redundancy payments which require to be paid to each such employee under the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the terms and conditions of their employment shall be paid by the Board to Project Co in the Contract Month in which redundancy occurs save to the extent that such redundancy payments have been increased by reason of any failure by the relevant employer to act reasonably so as to minimise such payments (including any failure to take reasonable efforts to redeploy such employees within the business of Project Co and/or the relevant Service Provider).
