Rationale
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: As of summer 2025, the college has reached the previously forecasted procurement value of GBP866,250. The unforeseen expenditure is due to a rise in the number of supported learners requiring transportation assistance in the past years, as well as an overall increase in travel mileage. In light of the modification, the college will not extend the agreement for 26/27 period, but will run a re-tender in 2026, with updated contract value. Thus, reducing the duration of current agreement from 48 months to 36 months.
Description
As of summer 2025, the college has reached the previously forecasted procurement value of GBP866,250. The unforeseen expenditure is due to a rise in the number of supported learners requiring transportation assistance in the past years, as well as an overall increase in travel mileage. In accordance with Regulation 72(1)(c) of The Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015, and due to circumstances beyond the control of the authority which could not have been foreseen at the time of the tender, the contract value will be increased by 50%, to GBP 1,299,375. This modification does not alter the scope of the contract, also the total duration of the framework agreement is reduced from 48 months to 36 months, due to plan to re-tender the need, with updated values, in 2026. Notice is advised at framework level and does not detail individual lots.
