Rationale
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The justification to why the modification was made under urgent circumstances was due to the abandonment of the competitive process and to ensure continuity of services.<br/><br/>Under regulation 14 (2)(a-c) of the Healthcare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 which states the following:<br/><br/>14.—(1) Regulations 6 to 13 are subject to this regulation.<br/>(2) Where a relevant authority considers that—<br/>(a)an award or modification must be made urgently,<br/>(b)the reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and not attributable to the relevant authority, and<br/>(c)delaying the award of the contract or modification to satisfy the requirements of regulations 6 to 13 would be likely to pose a risk to patient or public safety,
Description
Due to the abandonment of a competitive process undertaken by Norfolk & Waveney ICB in 2024 this resulted in a non-award and therefore the commissioner requires continuity of services whilst they undertake a new competitive process in 2025 to award a longer-term solution.<br/><br/>Therefore Norfolk & Waveney ICB need to extend the current caretaker contract for 12 months to allow a competitive process to be carried out.<br/><br/>Lifetime value of the 12 month modification contract is £10,332,537 which is a change of the lifetime value of £3,812,847 and the contract is being delivered between the following dates;<br/><br/>Original Contract - 11th December 2023 - 31st March 2025<br/>Modification Period - 1st April 2025 - 31st March 2026
