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 contract will be modified to allow the provider to deliver the following courses/programmes: Pathway to Parenting (P2P), Solihull for families with a child with SEND, Solihull for EAL families, a bespoke parenting programme for parents/carers with learning disabilities, domestic abuse programmes, Triple P - Baby, Video Interaction Guidance (VIG), and Learning Together Through PEEP.
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:
This requirement has become necessary as part of the family hubs initiative within Norfolk aimed at improving outcomes for children and their families.
This modification is being made under Reg 72 (1) (b). The requirement is very closely aligned to the existing Early Childhood and Family Service and therefore to introduce another provider would result in extra cost. The infrastructure is already in place with the current provider and to introduce another provider would result in duplication especially as mobilisation will be short. Another provider would also result in a fragmented offer to families and run the risk of reducing required outcomes.
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: £65,850,000
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £65,850,000
