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 contract is to be amended to add options to extend the contract from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 and also from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
It is considered that this amendment is permitted by Regulations 72(1)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) as it is considered that the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen and that the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. This is because the expiry date and options contained in the current contract (as advertised by way of contract notice 2020/S 207-506279 were decided upon in order to accord with the longer-term strategic plan of bringing together the 5 current Glider contracts under one contract. This global contract was planned to be in place by 2022 but the procurement of this global contract has been unforeseeably delayed because of the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic. It is now expected that, following a competition in accordance with the applicable regulations, that this global contract will be in place by 2025.
The 2 years are required to enable the resource to be focused on the contract competition for the contract placement for 2025. There will be no changes to the current T&Cs.
The 2020/S 207-506279 valued the contact at £1,250,000.00 To date, because of the significant reduction in the need for the equipment due to the Covid-19 pandemic, only £150,694.29 has been spent. Consequently, the value of the amendment will not exceed 50% of the advertised value of the original contract.
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: £1,250,000
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £1,850,000
