2.A.1.  Relevant Transfers

The Authority and the Contractor agree that the following events:

(a)  the occurrence of the Service Transfer Date; and

(b)  where the identity of a provider (including the Authority) of any service which constitutes or which will constitute one of the Services is changed whether in anticipation of changes pursuant to this Contract or not,

shall constitute a Relevant Transfer and that the contracts of employment (together with any collective agreements) of any Relevant Employees shall have effect (subject to Regulation 4(7) of TUPE) thereafter as if originally made between those employees and the new provider except insofar as such contracts relate to any benefits for old age, invalidity or survivors under any occupational pension scheme (save as required under sections 257 and 258 of the Pensions Act 2004).  On the occasion of a Relevant Transfer (save on expiry or termination of this Contract) the Contractor shall procure that the former and any new sub-contractor shall comply with their obligations under TUPE.
