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):

The modification is to increase the support capacity from 60 household's to a maximum of 90 household's.

This modification will increase the value of the contract by 50% of the total maximum contract which will increase the capacity of the contract to allow up to 90 households to be supported in the contract period.

This is required to ensure that support and resettlement services are available for Afghan refugees relocating from Pakistan to properties in Hampshire. There is an immediate and urgent need for refugees to relocate from Pakistan and 16 properties have already been identified for this purpose by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) that were not taken into account in the original procurement. Providing support and resettlement services for households allocated to these properties would take the contract above permitted capacity and spend.

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:

This is required to ensure that support and resettlement services are available for Afghan refugees relocating from Pakistan to properties in Hampshire. There is an immediate and urgent need for refugees to relocate from Pakistan and 16 properties have already been identified for this purpose by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) that were not taken into account in the original procurement. Providing support and resettlement services for households allocated to these properties would take the contract above permitted capacity and spend.

Furthermore, the launch of a second round of grant funding (Local Authority Housing Fund: Round 1 (LAHF R2)) by DLUHC in March 2023 to enable District and Borough Councils to purchase properties for refugees will further increase demand on this contract. This could not have been anticipated when the original contract was procured in 2022 and now means that the original contract was unable to meet urgent and immediate need.

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: £1,530,000

Total contract value after the modifications

Value excluding VAT: £2,294,550
