Indicators

• Contract modified due to unforeseen circumstances.

Legal Justification

The contract had a local price at circa 75% of tariff when the contract commenced. Since then, we have had a period of unprecedented inflation and no uplifts to the contract. The provider could not sustain the tariff in their bid and advised that they would need to terminate the contract if the Commissioner would not agree to the national tariff + MFF. The Commissioner agreed, under Regulation 14, to modify this contract due to these urgent circumstances to ensure continuity of this critical service to patients.
