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):
To ensure continuity of supported living services and deliver a smooth transition to a new model following the wider Adult Social Care review; the existing contract for Supported Living Services at Firsbrook House.
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:
Changing contractors would lead to considerable economic and operational disruption. A new contractor would require substantial time and resources which could delay service delivery and negatively impact continuity of care. Additionally, duplicative costs would be incurred through the reassessment of clients, reestablishment of care protocols, and potential retraining of staff to meet contractual and regulatory standards. These challenges not only strain financial resources but also risk destabilizing vulnerable individuals who rely on consistent and trusted care relationships, making the continuation with the existing provider the most stable and cost-effective solution.
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: £691,425
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £918,890
