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):

Volition is the strategic representative of Third Sector within the governance arrangements of the Leeds health and care system and is regarded as an equal partner alongside statutory city leaders and at a West Yorkshire Level. The activity is funded on the basis that it improves joint working between the health and care system and the Third Sector in Leeds, and thus better supports clients and improves outcomes. The additional work is reliant on using the processes and pathways already in place within that service and with partner agencies and deliverables could not be achieved by introducing another provider without causing significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the Council.

seven.2.2) Reasons for modification

and

(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.
