Legal Justification

The impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented demand on this contract. Modifications were undertaken in May 2021 and June 2021 to increase the value of the Contract in total to £393,000 until 31 January 2022. A further modification has now taken place to increase the value by £25,000 and to extend the contract until 30 April 2022. EA have commenced a procurement exercise for a new contract for these services and award decision is envisaged in February 2022.
