Just in from Dean;
It would seem that the Family Contract for Signature, something I have not looked at in detail until now, is a PDF of a Word document which still contains the “Track Changes”. The client Dean is with suggests that this might make it void. Not being lawyers we do not know.
We would be grateful for your thoughts – especially if you are in the Legal Dept at the LSC.
If it is (another) mistake in the procurement process, on the part of the LSC, it makes it even more incredible that the seem to wish to continue to punish firms who made significantly more innocuous ones in their bids.

You will find, somewhere in the contract, words to this effect:
If any provision of this Contract is so found to be invalid or unenforceable but would
be valid or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted, the provision in
question shall apply with such modification(s) as may be necessary to make it valid
and enforceable
