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):
This award was made in what the relevant authority considered to be urgent circumstances.
A paper was presented to the Kirklees ICB Committee on 8 May 2024 which set out a proposal to undertake an urgent contract modification to an existing contract to ensure continuity of service provision for the provision of Shared Care Prescribing, Level 1 Wound Care and Vitamin B12 injections (using the urgent contract award and modification provisions within the Provider Selection Regime). This was based on an indication from the Local Medical Committee (LMC) and the majority of practices choosing to no longer provide two Local Enhanced Services – Shared Care Prescribing and the Treatment Room Bundle.
Contract modification term: 12 months with a 9 month option to extend (start date 1st July 2024)
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 reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and is not attributable to the ICB. Delaying the award to conduct a full application of the PSR would be likely to pose a risk to patient safety
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: £276,187,429
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £276,600,165
