Legal Justification

The need to extend this framework has arisen as a direct result of the pandemic and diversion of resources (especially in labs). Had the pandemic not happened the decision to call off from the framework would have been reached before now within the framework timescales. This modification does not alter the overall nature of the framework agreement.
