Description
In addition to the contract length extending, the contract value has been increased to reflect increased programme delivery and additional activities planned for FY2025/26 and FY2026/27, ensuring continuity of logistics, events, and operational support across all four geographies. These uplifts do not represent supplier cost increases; rather, they align the contract value with updated programme delivery requirements.
Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The uplift is permissible under Regulation 72(1)(b) PCR 2015, as engaging a new supplier would not be operationally or commercially viable within the IHR-SP context. AFENET was competitively procured and has the established infrastructure, partnerships, and delivery capacity necessary to ensure continuity and cost-effective implementation. <br/><br/>This ensures continuity of service, maintains value for money, and adheres to procurement regulations.
