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):
The lifetime contract value is being modified due to the award of The Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant (DATRIG). Additional funding has also been awarded from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) and Public Health Ring Fenced Grant (PHRG).
The additional funding supports the continued delivery of the existing contract and does not materially alter the character of the contract. The cumulative change in the lifetime value of the contract, compared to its value when it was entered into, is under 25% of the lifetime value.
The lifetime value when entered into: £22,736,880.00
The lifetime value as modified on 01 April 2025: £24,645,665.00
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:
The lifetime contract value is being modified due to the award of The Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant (DATRIG). Additional funding has also been awarded from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) and Public Health Ring Fenced Grant (PHRG).
Due to the nature of the grant funding available, the specialist treatment provider was the only provider who could reasonably deliver these services. The grant funding streams became available after the award of the contract and were not known at the time of contracting.
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: £22,736,880
