Other Information

** PREVIEW NOTICE, please check Find a Tender for full details. ** It has become necessary for EANI to further increase the value of this contract as additional expenditure has been incurred due to an unforeseen additional budget release by which the consequent additional funding facilitated the performance of additional works and the unforeseen demand particularly in respect of response works and for works to accommodate children with Special Education Needs. These factors, combined with the continued effect of inflation which were not anticipated at the time of the original Contract Notice or subsequent VEAT Notices, has precipitated a more rapid consumption of the value of the contract stated in the previous VEAT Notice. The total value of the extension is 4,000,000.00 GBP which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. This uplift is applied in addition to the 4,000,000 GBP uplift applied and detailed in the previous VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-004316 published on 8 February 2024. . The uplift to the contract value also being sought as a precautionary measure to ensure continued service delivery of the SEN placement programme and in particular the potential of further ongoing response maintenance works as may be required before the contract expiry. . Regulation 72(1)(c) permits this increase in value of the Contract, due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. In addition the overall nature of the contract is not altered and Modification value is GBP 4 000 000 which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. This contingency includes sums to permit work in other Lots (as per the contract and Regulation 72 (1)(a)). . In order to provide continued access to schools and the scale, complexity and nature of the construction works and possible duplication of costs it is not possible to change the current provider. Regulation 72(1)(b) further permits this as a change of provider: . (i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability of services procured under the original procurement and given the need to ensure continued access to EANI schools and facilities and could result in partial/total closure of schools; and . (ii) will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs. . EANI envisages new contract award by no later than 31/08/25 and the contract extension shall permit the contracting authority to terminate the contract before this date upon the provision of three months’ notice.
