Rationale
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: This notice relates to the modification of an existing contract under regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("PCR"). The modification has become necessary because of the unforeseen increase in demand for the service following the Covid-19 Pandemic; increased contract spend is as a result of increased demand. The modification to the contract value is based upon current forecasting & allowance for annual CPI increases with a small tolerance. The modification does not exceed 50% of the original contract value: Original Contract Value £24,610,928, Modification to Contract Value + £5,389,072, Total Contract Value £30,000,000. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. The modification does not alter the contractual term of the contract.
Description
