Legal Justification

In making this variation the above conditions of Regulation 72 (1b) (i) & (ii) are deemed to be satisfied for the following reasons: 1) The recommissioning process has revealed a number of significant changes that need to be made in shaping a new model of home care type support in the future. This significant programme of change requires additional time to go undertake the necessary consultation and analysis of current provision, including evaluation of the pilot, in order to ensure appropriate future commissioning of these types of services. 2) Due to the Council not currently being in an adequate position to procure a new service, due to the technicalities of redesigning future home care provision to the "wellbeing" model which has been brought about as a result of consultation with the market / end users, and to re-procure now instead of waiting until the pilot period is over and further evaluation and consultation taking place, will result in significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of tendering cost. 3) The contract sums show the value of the initial contract, and the proposed increase due to the request to modify the contract. Taking these figures into account, the modification of the contract by the addition of 12 months with an option to extend up to a further 12 months equates to 49% (£66m) of the original contract value.
