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 contract was due to expire 30th September 2024 with no further extension provisions remaining. A tender exercise was conducted in April 2024 to award a new contract to replace this current contract, however no compliant bids were received.

The current contractor has agreed to continue service delivery for a further 12 months whilst options for the award of a new contract are explored.

This contract modification is amend clause 5.1 of the Contract Ts & Cs to extend the option for contract extension from 24 months to 36 months.

This additional 12 months extension provision is to ensure continuity of service whilst the Council explores and agrees options available.

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 modification does not alter the nature of the actual service

being delivered, but instead extends the expiry of the existing contract for a further 12 months.

The modification does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The modification is considered by the contracting authority to not be substantial and therefore to be within the exception set out in Regulation 72(1)(e).

Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)

Value excluding VAT: £815,000
