Indicators

• Contract modified due to additional needs.

Legal Justification

Modification of this contract is made in accordance with Regulation 13(1)(d) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 as both of the criteria in paragraph (2) are met. Therefore, the modification does not render the contract or framework agreement materially different in character; and, the cumulative change in the lifetime value of the contract or framework agreement since it was entered into or concluded is less than 25% of the lifetime value of the original contract or framework agreement when it was entered into or concluded. An increase to the contract value was required due to the high level of inflationary increases experienced since the whole time equivalent staff price was set in 2019 when the contract was procured. In addition, the value did not sufficiently cover the on-costs or staff travel required, as the service has a higher level of home visits and travel across the localities than was originally anticipated. The contract value now also includes consumable costs such as drug testing kits and harm reduction materials not in the original procurement.

Other Information

This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) contract modification notice, under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. This contract has now been formally modified. Please note that the original contract award notice incorrectly describes the contract value as £19,999,996.00 GBP. This was an error and represents the contract value without the application of contract options including the option to extend the contract. The correct contract value at the point of award, including all contract options was £42,970,317.00 GBP and therefore this figure has been given at V.2.4 above. The original call to competition, the published terms of contract and the contract specification all made the options clear and the higher value would have been obvious to all tenderers when the competition was undertaken. The decision to modify this contract has been taken through the Council's democratic processes by the Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Children Education and Young People's Services following a report submitted by the Corporate Director of Childrens Services. No conflicts of interest have been identified or declared by the Council's decision maker in relation to the modification of this contract.
