Description
(1) The contract will co-term on 31 January 2027 (previously there were 2 start and end dates, one relating to existing support, one relating to new; the original end date for the existing support was 31 July 2026. Both will extend from 01 February 2027). (2) The extension provision will be a three year extension from 01 February 2027 to 31 January 2030 instead of the two year extension originally set out.
Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Initial Term cost: £158,175.85 - Duration 3 years Anticipated WLC (incl 2 year potential ext): (2 x £26,671.30 = £53,342.60) £211,518.45 for 5 years Revised WLC: £158,175.85 + £51,000 = £209,175.85 for 6 years The change from this is the duration, due to the benefit of the costs as set out above. Given the financial benefit to the 3-year extension, we rely on 72(1) (b) For additional works, services, or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and where a change of supplier is unviable due to economic or technical reasons.
