Rationale
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The modification in the published framework value is due to increased supplier product costs which could not have been foreseen. The price increases have been largely driven by significant increases in fuel and energy costs over the last 12 months. The increases in fuel and energy have had a significant impact on the mining sector as its operations are heavily dependent on both. Another contributory factor to the price increases is the higher than anticipated inflation increases over the last 12 months.
Description
This modification is to increase the published contract value of the WGCD (formerly NPS) Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework by 4.78million GBP Explanation: The Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework will reach the end of its four year term in July 2025. This modification will ensure that the framework spend remains complaint within the published contract value over the remaining duration of the framework. The modification will ensure continuity of supply of products that are critical to the safe operation of the Welsh road network. The modification to the Framework is permissible under Regulation Reg 72 (1) (c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Under this Regulation amendments can be made to the framework if the following conditions are met: (i) the need for the modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen; (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract; (iii) any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. Our assessment has concluded that these conditions have been met as follows: (i) the supplier price increases and associated higher than anticipated contract spend has been brought about by the significant increases in energy and fuel costs and inflationary increases which the WGCD could not have foreseen; (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract; (iii) the increase of 4.78m GBP does not exceed 50% of the original framework value

Rationale
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The salt industry has two specific pricing windows i.e. Summer price (April to September) and Winter price (October to March). The summer prices are typically less than the Winter price and is one of the key drivers for customers stock during the Summer months. Without the modification customers will be able to order and restock from April to June 2025 based on the 2024 summer prices which will result in commercial difficulties for suppliers. Framework suppliers could submit a price revision request to update the prices for this 3-month period however this is considered a disproportion administration burden for the WGCD and its framework suppliers. Engagement with existing framework customers and suppliers regards the modification has not raised any issues.
Description
This modification is to end the WGCD Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework on 31st March 2025 which is three months earlier than the published contract end date of 30th June 2025 Explanation: Ending the current framework agreement early will allow for the next iteration of the WGCD Rock Salt and Associated Products Framework to commence on 1st April 2025 without an overlap. Starting the new framework in April will ensure its start date aligns with the salt industry pricing cycles i.e. summer price (April to September) and Winter price (October to March) The modification to the Framework is permissible under Regulation Reg 72 (1) (c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Under this Regulation amendments can be made to the framework if the following conditions are met: (i) the need for the modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. (iii) any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. Our assessment has concluded that these conditions have been met as follows: (i) the modification is required due to issues highlighted by framework suppliers during the contract management of the current contract. The issue had not been raised by suppliers during the management of the previous four iterations of the framework and, given that the issue is unique to the sector, is not something that could have been reasonably foreseen by the WGCD. (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. (iii) the modification will result in a slight reduction in the projected contract spend. However, even without the modification, is not anticipated that the published contract value will be exceeded based on the current projected contract spend.
