Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The above modification is attributable NHS Herefordshire & Worcestershire ICB and does not materially alter the character of the contract, and the cumulative change in the lifetime of the contract, compared to when it was entered into, is under £500,000 and under 25%. This modification is permitted under Regulation 13 Section 1(d) and Section 2(a) and (b) of The Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) regulations. (PSR Section 13: A contract or framework agreement for relevant health care services may be modified during its term without following a new procurement process under these Regulations where 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.)
Description
The existing contract is being modified to include an overnight non-emergency patient transport service for eligible patients residing in the county of Worcestershire. The value of the proposed modification to the aforementioned contract is £153,164.00 per annum. The total cumulative value of the proposed contact modification is £306,382.00 for the remaining 2-year period of the current contract. The value of the existing contract is £XXX per annum. This is XX% increase per annum in the total cumulative value of the contract being modified. Thus, the test for considerable change is not met, and the contract modification is not rendering the original contract materially different. The date on which the modification will took effect was 1st April 2025. 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 Contract Regulations do not apply to this award. This contract has now been formally modified.
