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):

Extension of Contract end date from 17 June 2022 to 30 September 2022.

Cost of variation is £1,951,721.29 (Contract price changes from £27,267,233.35 to £29,218,954.64).

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 purpose of the Modification is to continue the existing services until the new procurement Community Accommodation Services - Tier 2 contract (currently ongoing) has been procured.

The service is currently being delivered by a single supplier and a change of supplier cannot be made for technical reasons as systems and internal processes have been developed for the purpose of this contract with the initial supplier.

Further, to procure a separate short-term contract would involve significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs as it is already undertaking an existing procurement exercise.

Finally, an approximate £1.9 million extension on an approximate £27.6 million contract means that the Modification is well below the 50% threshold limit.

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: £27,267,233.35

Total contract value after the modifications

Value excluding VAT: £29,218,954.64
