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):
To provide a contribution towards increased National Insurance cost arising from a nationally mandated change of the increase in employer National Insurance contributions, which could not have been foreseen at the time of contract award.
Original contract value was £5,666,845, modified by £585,950 to a total of £6,252,795.
This notice is for an additional modification with a value of £44,412.86 bringing the total value of the contract after modifications to £6,297,207.86.
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:
Services commissioned by the Public Health and Communities' team under County Council contracts do not include inflationary clauses as standard. There is an expectation that providers will manage inflation within the overall budget envelope for the contract. However, we do consider discretionary inflationary uplifts at the point of contract extension and when services are recommissioned, and in response to unforeseen cost impacts during the contract.
Public Health and Communities' team made a discretionary uplift to eligible contracts in response to the increase in employer National Insurance contributions. As a team, we are committed to working with our providers to ensure the sustainability and quality of the valued services, while also recognising the need to work within the financial envelope of the nationally determined Public Health Grant, LSSSS Grant and Council budgets.
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: £6,252,795
Total contract value after the modifications
