Description

This modification notice relates to an increase in the original contract value of the WGCD Adverse Weather Forecasting Services Framework. These services are required to manage and operate the road network in Wales during adverse weather conditions. The modification is being made by the Welsh Government's Commercial Delivery Division (WGCD). The WGCD acted on behalf of the Welsh public sector to establish a collaborative framework agreement for Adverse Weather Forecasting Services. Key customers for this agreement are the Welsh Government and its trunk road agencies; and the majority of Welsh local authorities but the agreement can be used by any eligible Welsh public sector or third-party organisations.

Indicators

• Contract modified due to unforeseen circumstances.

Legal Justification

The WGCD undertook significant customer engagement with its established category forum group and analysis of historical spend data on the previous iteration of the WGCD Adverse Weather Forecasting Services Framework in order to agree the estimated original contract value as detailed in the tender award notice. However customer usage of the framework has been greater than the original estimate which the WGCD could not have foreseen. As such this modification is required to ensure that the framework spend remains complaint within the published contract value over the remaining duration of the framework.
