Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Reasons for Modification; There are immediate and longer-term challenges in relation to undertaking a full procurement across the NW at this time. This is compounded by a system wide organisational change process resulting in capacity reduction and staff movement due to redundancy and re-structuring. Recent and upcoming national changes to the DESP programme, alongside the Cheshire and Merseyside area which has never been procured, highlight the need for a full and comprehensive stakeholder engagement to be undertaken in order to mitigate any risk of representation at procurement stage. The planned term of the new arrangements will span the period covering recent discussions around the Office of Pan ICB Commissioning from 1st April 2027 and will provide sufficient time for a wider procurement across the NW to be designed and implemented. This will allow the team to identify appropriate staffing and procurement support to conduct the full stakeholder engagement work and progress competitive procurement for the NW region as a whole.
