Other Information

The value of this contract (£5,640,000) was above the UK threshold therefore the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 applied.. . The Regulations permit the modification of a contract where the changes proposed meet one or more of the prescribed tests as set out under Regulation 72. . Having considered the information provided there would appear to be convincing reasons to modify this contract in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) for additional works, services or supplies that “have become necessary” and were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier would not be practicable (for economic, technical or interoperability reasons) and would involve substantial inconvenience/duplication of costs - provided the change does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. .This modification is for up to 6 months from 15 January 2025 until 14 July 2025, this should be sufficient time to let a new contract, there is no increase in value.
