Other Information

Reference VII.2.2 continued: The Trust is preparing to re-tender this Service. Unfortunately, this re-procurement exercise has been delayed as a result of the matters detailed in the Trust’s letter to Providers dated 25th March 2022, as well as unforeseen Department of Health Northern Ireland (“DoH NI”) and regional Health and Social Care (“HSC”) policy requirements which materially impact upon the re-procurement process. As such, new contracts under the re-procurement exercise will not be in place before the expiry of the current Contracts in Lot 2 on 30th June 2023. In order to ensure the continued and uninterrupted service delivery of this critical front line service, in the interim, the Trust issued a letter 23 February 2023 to amend the Contracts in Lot 2 with effect from 23rd February 2023 (Variation Date) so that the Contract Period shall be amended to include one further period of extension of 12 months commenting on 1st July 2023 and expiring on 30th June 2024. 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). The final condition of this ground under Regulation 72(1)(c)(iii) is met in that the increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The increase in price for Lot 2 is £4,893,179 and the value of the original Contracts for Lot 2 is £14,000,000.
