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):
Network Rail (High Speed) Limited (“NRHS”) is extending the term of the existing Framework Agreement for lift, escalator and moving walkway maintenance and associated services for a period of up to two years beyond its original expiry in July 2026.
The modification does not introduce new categories of services or materially change the technical requirements, performance regime or commercial structure of the Framework Agreement. The extension provides for the continued delivery of the same maintenance and associated services over an extended period to ensure continuity of safety‑critical operations.
The Framework Agreement is intended to support the ongoing maintenance of NRHS lift, escalator and moving walkway assets, which may vary over time in line with operational requirements. The extension allows the existing contractual arrangements to continue to apply during the extended term.
Other than the extension of duration and the corresponding increase in value arising from the continued provision of the same services, no further modifications are being made. No earlier modifications are relied upon for the purposes of this notice.
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:
A change of contractor is not feasible following the abandonment of the replacement procurement, which did not result in a viable contract award. No alternative supplier can therefore be appointed within the required timescales.
Introducing a new contractor on an interim basis would create unacceptable operational risks for safety‑critical assets, disruption to established maintenance regimes and the need for extensive mobilisation and transition activities across live operational stations.
A change of contractor would also result in significant inconvenience and duplication of costs, including parallel mobilisation and demobilisation costs, repeated surveys and asset data capture, training and competence assurance, and transition costs, with no corresponding benefit given the short interim duration pending re‑procurement.
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: £11,514,236
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £20,000,000
