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 modification is in accordance with Regulations 72(1)(b)(i) and (ii). A tender procedure for the products covered in the aforementioned contract began in January 2023, with preliminary market engagement taking place in September 2023 via the following PIN notices: 2023/S 000-026575 & 2023/S 000-026591. It is projected that the tender will be issued to the market for bids in the summer of 2024. Extensions to the tender scope have necessitated more time for considerations, which has delayed tender publication and made the aforementioned modification necessary. Furthermore, while the tender is in progress, the modification is necessary to guarantee the ongoing provision of essential comprehensive clinical microbiology services that include the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of infectious diseases.
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: £4,517,624
Total contract value after the modifications
