Indicators

Contract modified due to unforeseen circumstances.

Legal Justification

Since commencement of NGSA suite of frameworks, EA has been subject to following impacts:1. An increase in overall FCERM funding from £2.6 to £5.2 billion (circa April 2020) and launch of the new FCRM Strategy has impacted spend rates and requirement to work at pace.a. This has taken additional resource to ramp up to required levels to deliver spend and the FCRM Strategy.2. COVID19 –both internal and external impacts to project delivery in terms of cost, time and resource availability. a. This has impacted both the time and support that has been required to ensure delivery and delivery partner stability.3. Resultant recovery from COVID19 and associated inflation of costs has contributed to greater expenditure against original framework values.4. A competitive employment market and industry skills shortage, plus annual revenue budget settlements, has meant the EA has reduced in headcount through this period and to enable delivery, looked to the supply chain for increased service.
