Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
The Cabinet Office considers that the award of this contract is permitted pursuant to Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR). Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) of the PCR permits the use of the negotiated procedure without prior publication for public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts where the works, supplies or services can be supplied only by a particular economic operator because competition is absent for technical reasons, but only where no reasonable alternative or substitute exists and the absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement. The Cabinet Office's view is that the services covered by the contract can be supplied only by KPMG LLP because competition is absent for technical reasons and no reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Our view is that no alternative provider could take over the provision of the relevant learning and development services that are required now as there is insufficient time for transition to another provider to take place. This absence of competition is not the result of an artificial narrowing down of the parameters of the procurement.

Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Regulation 72(1)(b): Additional services Additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor- (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, and (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. Regulation 72(1)(e): No substantial modification The proposed modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. The changes are necessary to address specific issues that have arisen during the contract performance, ensuring that the contract continues to meet its intended objectives effectively. The modification does not introduce elements that are substantially different from the original contract scope within the meaning of paragraph (8), thus maintaining the fundamental character of the initial agreement. Regulation 72(1)(f): Below the value threshold Where the value of the modification is below both of the following values (a) the relevant threshold mentioned in regulation 5, and (b) 10% of the initial contract value for service and supply contracts.
Description
The contract duration is extended by six months from the original end date of 31 October 2025 to 30 April 2026 for business continuity. The Termination Assistance Period option, that facilitates transition of learning to the new provision (when in place), is also being invoked. No other changes are being made to the contract.
