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 Call-off contract for the Supply of Ancillary Processing System (Lot 2) between Haemonetics S.A and NHS Blood and Transplant Bristol has the duration of four years and is due to expire on the 28th of February 2022.

This Modification will extend the contract until 31st of October 2023. See Sections VII 2.2 for more details.

Due to the impact of Covid-19 and the support for the Convalescent Plasma (CVP) programme there has been a significant delay in the retendering the new supply and in developing the replacement International Blood Pack 1 (IBP1) Framework on time.

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:

The Call-off contract for Ancillary Processing System (Lot 2 ) with Haemonetics S.A is being extended in accordance with Regulation 72.1. B and /or 72.1.C of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This is because of the continuing focus of the contracting authorities on the Covid-19 crisis (which no diligent contracting authority could have foreseen) has significantly reduced the technical support for a re-tender. The length of this time has been chosen so that the replacement Framework IBP1 can be completed. The length of time of this extension is because any other interim replacement arrangement would be in place for such a short duration that it would cause significant inconvenience and/ or substantial duplication of costs; along with causing significant technical barriers such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement.

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: £3,960,000

Total contract value after the modifications

Value excluding VAT: £4,800,000
