Description
The modification involves a change in the published contract value. The Total value of the Procurement, in the Contract Award Notice published on 26 August 2022, was £30,000,000 (excluding VAT). The modified Total value of the Procurement (excluding VAT) is £45,000,000 (excluding VAT). Approximately £10m of the anticipated additional spend is expected to be through Lot 2: Housing and Asset Management.
Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The reasons for the modification are: a) the HALA members have spent more through the framework than was anticipated and b) the HALA membership has grown beyond what was anticipated, also increasing the overall spend. A full re-procurement, to allow for the additional spend, would have involved a significant duplication of costs for the Contracting Authority. The tender for the new HALA Legal Services (Solicitors) Framework was published on 13th Feb 2026 and is due to commence on 1st Sep 2026.
