Legal Justification

The Trust refers to its response at VII.2.1 above.The first condition of this ground under Regulation 72(1)(c)(i) PCR 2015 is that the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. Regulation 72(1)(c)(i) PCR 2015 is satisfied in respect of this modification as the need for modification has been brought about by external circumstances, being the referred DoH NI direction,which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen when the Trust awarded these contracts back in 2016. The second condition of this ground under Regulation 72(1)(c)(ii) is that the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. Here the service, being a domiciliary care service, is unchanged. As such, the modification does not alter the overall nature of the Contract and therefore satisfies Regulation 72(1)(c)(ii).
