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):
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
We have extended the framework agreement for a period of 5 months to allow for the re-procurement of this framework, following abandonment
decisions in November 2023 and September 2024.
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:
Modification need brought about by the time taken to run procurement (Proc2387 / 2024/S 000-014092) and then the
sudden abandonment of the retendering process. The award of the Network equipment and security framework (Proc2387) was formally done
12/09/2024; all bidders were informed of their respective outcomes. Following the commencement of the standstill period Jisc received queries
bidders citing concerns. Jisc took some time to analyse and understand the questions raised by bidders and concluded that whilst the ITT was
structured and based on objective grounds, some elements resulted in potentially unreasonable results. After careful consideration, Jisc made
use of the right reserved for itself in its ITT (Proc2387) to not award a contract to any of the bidders, and to abandon this procurement
process. The extension under existing terms is to ensure stability for Jisc’s member organisations (see Section II.2.4, 2020/S 017-036340) whilst a retender is completed.
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: £120,000,000
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £167,500,000
