Legal Justification

The current CAT-18-007 Supply and Delivery of Catering Hygiene Products to School Meals Kitchens for the Education Authority Northern Ireland commenced on the 1 April 2019. The impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented uptake in demand for cleaning products which could not have been foreseen by EANI. A modification of contract was untaken in January 2021 to increase the contract value by £175,000 to £535,000 A modification will now take place to increase value by £40,000 ie less than 11 percent of the original contract value and extend the contract until 31 March 2022. EA have commenced a procurement exercise for a new contract for the supply of Cleaning and catering hygiene Materials and award decision is envisaged in February 2022.

The modification to this Contract is in accordance with Regulation 72(c) of the PCR2-15 in that: (i)the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen; (ii)the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract; (iii)any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. The contract modification will not be entered into until 7 January 2022.
