This option has not been exercised. Instead, this notice shall extend the contract until 31 May 2024 with the further option for EANI, in its absolute discretion, terminate the contract by providing the contractor with written notice of its intention to terminate the contract. The total value of the extension is £4,000,000 GBP.
Further information in VII.2.2 below.
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 has become necessary to extend the contract until 31 May 2024 to facilitate the development and design of a new procurement. Modification value is GBP 4 000 000 which does not exceed 50 % of original contract value. The EANI shall have, at its absolute discretion, the ability to terminate the contract by giving the contractor written notice of its intention to terminate. To secure continuity, the provisions of the contract as referenced in VEAT 2021/S 105-278055 remain.
Regulation 72(1) (b) further permits this extension as a change of provider:
(i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons for reasons of interchangeability and interoperability with the initial procurement; and
(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs.
