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):
Due to an unforeseen increase in demand for Specialist Furniture and Equipment for Pupils with Special Educational Needs, the requirement has arisen to modify the value of the Framework Agreement to provide short term contractual coverage whilst the Authority carries out a re-procurement exercise.
The Authority intends to run a re-procurement exercise in order to replace this current Framework Agreement and it is anticipated that this will commence on 1st April 2023 and the modification to the value provides an interim solution to ensure contractual coverage for schools until the new Framework Agreement commences.
This is the first modification to this Framework Agreement. It is estimated that the total value of this modification shall be less than 50% of the original contract value. The original contract value was stated as £2,500,000 and this notice increases the total contract value to £3,750,000.
This modification is in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (c) and will comply with each of the following conditions pertaining to this regulation as outlined below:
(i) the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen
i.e. increase in demand in part influenced by the availability of funding which could not be foreseen at the time of advertising the original contract.
(ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract (services provided will remain the same);
