Indicators

• Contract modified due to additional needs.

Legal Justification

This is a relatively small modification to the Children and Young People Affected By The Substance Misuse of Others Service. Because of this, a change of contractor is impractical from an economic perspective and because it could lead to a fragmented service. The modification is not considered to be substantial and does not alter the overall nature of the contract pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(e).
