Explanation:
The Framework Agreement 70400 General Groceries as set out in the OJEU Contract Notice was entered into by the EA as per the published Contract Award Notice (Framework Agreement). The framework was for the period 01 November 2018 until 31 August 2021 with an optional extension until 31 August 2022 (this extension option was exercised and consequently the expiry of the Framework is 31 August 2022). As part of a new tender process for Ambient items it was agreed that the collection and disposal of Frying oil was not within the scope of the new tender as it is for food commodities and this is a distinct service with specific waste licensing agreements required. It was agreed by the EA that this was a service that needed to be procured through the EA's Facilities Maintenance Procurement and necessitates extensive Pre-Market Engagement. It is anticipated that the new procurement exercise for this service will commence in August 2022 with a view to having a Framework in place for 01 May 2023. To ensure continuity of service for School Meals Kitchens it was agreed to modify the current 70400 Framework for General Groceries to extend the Collection and Disposal Frying Oil element only to ensure there is contractual cover for this service in the intervening period. Furthermore, as a rebate to the EA is linked to the service provision, the extension for a further 8 month period means that the value of the modification is less than 10% of the original published framework value. In addition the value of the modification is below the relevant threshold as mentioned in regulation 5. Consequently the modification falls within both para a and b of Regulation 72 para.5 of PCR 2015 i.e. This paragraph applies where the value of the modification is below both of the following values: (a) the relevant threshold mentioned in regulation 5, and (b)10% of the initial contract value for service and supply contracts and 15% of the initial contract value for works contracts, provided that the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract or framework agreement.
