The initial contract length for each Lot is 3,5 years. At the Councils discretion the contract may be extended by up to an additional 2 years, subject to satisfactory performance and availability of funding, at the end of the initial contract term, and up to an additional 2 years (at the Councils discretion) at the end of the first extension. On completion of the initial term and the use of both extension periods, using Regulation 72 (c) of the Public Procurement Regulations 2015 the contract has been extended by a further 2 years. Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 allows for modification of the contract during its term, providing certain criteria is satisfied. The modification is justified as follows i) the full impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting response required to manage this could not have been foreseen, and; emerging national policy and legislative changes have been introduced within this period and were not able to be assessed through an Options Appraisal prior to now due to the national timeframe for planning and implementation; ii) the modification will not alter the overall nature of the contract; iii) there will be no increase in contract value, with the contract remaining at the same annual value.
