Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition
Why this procedure was chosen
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) intends to award a 12-month extension and financial uplift of £995,000 (Ex VAT) to the MOBILIST Policy Platform contract with Chemonics International Inc. This amendment includes an option for early termination and is made under Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, which permits modifications that are not substantial within the meaning of paragraph (8). FCDO considers that the extension can be awarded without prior publication of a notice under Part 2 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, but has elected to use the procedure in regulation 99(3) (VEAT notice). The contract contains a provision allowing for a 12-month extension, until March 2027 which this amendment will utilise. The contract contains a specific provision allowing for a 20% increase in the contract value, utilised in 2022. This amendment will see a further financial uplift to cover additional services delivered during the extension period. The nature and scope of the contract remain unchanged. This amendment does not materially alter or expand the contract scope and therefore does not constitute a substantial modification. Chemonics will continue to deliver the same core services: policy research, advocacy, communications and monitoring and evaluation. No new deliverables or strategic shifts are introduced. The amendment is necessary to ensure continuity of service provision while decisions on the future structure of the MOBILIST programme are finalised. FCDO originally planned to re-procure these services in February 2025. However, this procurement was paused following the shift of UK ODA budget to 0.3%. The MOBILIST programme is now undergoing a strategic options assessment, and as a result the scope of future service delivery for the programme will remain unclear until the outcome of that assessment is known. This extension will allow for continuity of service delivery until the future structure of the programme is approved, and a targeted procurement for the delivery of the required services can be launched. Proceeding with a new procurement before the completion of the options assessment would introduce significant risks, including the potential for wasted supplier resources in competing for a contract which might need to be cancelled or terminated early after award. Before entering the proposed contract amendment, the Authority will observe the standstill period of 10 calendar days from the day after publication on the UK e-notification service required by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 at regulation 99 before executing the amendment allowing all relevant parties adequate time to review and respond. .
