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 change to this Framework is an additional 12 month extension covering period 16/04/22 to 15/04/23. All terms & conditions of original award remain in place.
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
The additional demands of the Scottish Health and Social Care sector during the Covid-19 pandemic (and recovery of services) to maintain necessary supply and remove unnecessary disruption from the Authority at this time in line with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015.
The priorities for NSS, NHS Scotland and likely those suppliers who would wish to be part of a tender process (due to severe market conditions) have changed, as a result it is a necessary step to delay start of new tender process necessitating a 12 month extension to current framework.
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: £918,000
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £1,270,000
