On 02/04/2014, Government introduced its Government Security Classifications (GSC) scheme which replaced Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All bidders were required to make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact this requirement. This link provides information on the GSC at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-security-classifications
Cyber Essentials is a mandatory requirement for Central Government contracts which involve handling personal information or provide certain ICT products/services.

To participate in this procurement, bidders were required to demonstrate they comply with the technical requirements prescribed by Cyber Essentials, for services under and in connection with this procurement.

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):
In accordance with Regulation 72 paragraph 1 (e ) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015,
CCS intends to modify the Construction Professional Services Framework Agreement
(RM6165) by extending the term by 6 months.
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:
Due to the recent decision made by Government to delay the implementation of the
Procurement Act 23, Crown Commercial Service (CCS) believes that the first condition set
out in Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the
Framework Agreement. In order to enable CCS to ensure its portfolio is ready for the new
implementation date of 24/02/2025, and to safeguard the significant work already
completed in the development of the replacement agreement under the new regulations,
CCS proposes to extend the Framework Agreement for a period of six (6) months from its
scheduled expiry date. The extended Framework Agreement will expire on 29/03/2026.
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: £1,722,500,000
