Legal Justification

As part of a new tender process for Ambient items it was agreed that the collection and disposal of Frying oil was not within the scope of the new tender as it is for food commodities and this is a distinct service with specific waste licensing agreements required. It was agreed by the EA that this was a service that needed to be procured through the EA's Facilities Maintenance Procurement and necessitates extensive Pre-Market Engagement. To ensure continuity of service for School Meals Kitchens it was agreed to modify the current 70400 General Groceries Framework to extend the Collection and Disposal Frying Oil element only to ensure there is contractual cover for this service in the intervening period. Furthermore, as a rebate to the EA is linked to the service provision, the extension for a further 8-month period means that the value of the modification is less than 10% of the original published framework value. In addition, the value of the modification is below the relevant threshold as mentioned in regulation 5.
