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):

A contract extension period of 6 months with the original value being retained.

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:

Due to the level of marketplace interest and response to the re-procurement of this framework, the tender process has unexpectedly become complex and elongated. To allow sufficient time to respond to the marketplace, a 6-month extension of the existing framework has been deemed appropriate to ensure ongoing availability of the services. This extension period allows for the existing framework to continue to support membership and allows the tender process to conclude in accordance with best procurement practice as set out within the Public Contract Regulations 2015. The value of the original notice remains the same.

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: £10,000,000

Total contract value after the modifications

Value excluding VAT: £10,000,000
