Section four. Procedure

four.1) Description

four.1.1) Type of procedure

Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the cases listed below

  • The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the regulations

Explanation:

Award of a contract without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union in the cases listed below •The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive Explanation: This VTN gives notice that SNH is entering into a deed of variation (the "Contract") to extend the duration of an existing R&M contract between SNH and MCP The estimated increase in the value of the Underlying Contract is estimated to be £3,000,000 (three million pounds). A procurement procedure is not necessary on the basis that the award of the Contract is permitted pursuant to regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Contract will have the effect of modifying the Underlying Contract in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Underlying Contract was previously extended by a period of 6 months in January 2023, and by a further period of 12 months in January 2024. The Underlying Contract will be varied in order to extend the duration of the Underlying Contract by a further period of two (2) months in order to facilitate the conclusion of the reprocurement of a repairs and maintenance contractor for the legacy SNH stock . The estimated value of the Underlying Contract is increased by £3,000,000 (three million pounds). This modification is being made in accordance with regulation 72(1)(e) and 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Namely, the proposed modification is not substantial within the meaning of regulation 72(1)(8) on the basis that: 1.the modification does not alter the contract materially different in character - the proposed modification remains limited to the same type, scope and nature of works, and will be delivered in the same geographic region. There is just a short extension to the duration of the Underlying Contract in order to facilitate the reprocurement exercise. 2.the modification does not introduce conditions which would have (a) allowed for the admission of other candidates, (b) allowed for the acceptance of another tender, or (c) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure - the change in value as a result of a short extension of the opportunity is not a significant change and is unlikely to have changed the outcome of the procurement. 3.The modification does not change the economic balance in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the contract - SNH has satisfied itself that the estimated compensation for the additional works is reflective of market costs and does not amount to an over-compensation of the works to be provided. 4.As per our comments at 1. above, the modification does not extend the scope of the contract considerably. For the reasons set out above, the proposed modification does not constitute a substantial modification and is permitted by regulation 72(1)(e) and 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Additionally, we note that the proposed modification is in part to facilitate the reprocurement of a contractor which is already underway.
