seven.2) Information about modifications

seven.2.1) Description of the modifications

Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):

A regional renewal tender is currently undergoing evaluation and cost analysis as DoH level. A six month extension (with potential for extension for up to a further 6 months) to the existing contract is being applied.

seven.2.2) Reasons for modification

Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire.

Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:

A new regional tender renewal process has been initiated and is currently at evaluation stage

(see notice number 029933-002 on www.find-tender.service.gov.uk). The delay in awarding

this tender has been necessitated by regional digital change initiatives (introduction of a new

LIMS and a new NIPACS+ Radiography reporting system) and by extended cost evaluation by DHPSS NI with the result being that this current contract is to be extended, as indicated, to 13 September 2025 (with provision for up to 6 months further extension) to allow for evaluation

and subsequent implementation. This extension is being conducted in line with Reg 72(1)(b)(ii)

of the 2015 PCR.

seven.2.3) Increase in price

Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)

Value excluding VAT: £6,442,185

Total contract value after the modifications

Value excluding VAT: £7,142,185
