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):
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the previously indicated requirement for the project to include an Extra Care scheme is being withdrawn. Following the previous modification Notice 2023/S OOO-037760 published December 2023 which contained the rationale for the 'age inclusive 'aspect of the extra care to be removed further promotion of a more standard extra care scheme has taken place. This has included a second soft market testing exercise targeted at the sector and extensive negotiations with a number of established providers none of which have progressed due to viability concerns. It is therefore clear that an extra care facility in this location is not deliverable within the required timescales for this Programme. The extra care facility will be replaced with housing in line with need and demand in the area. This modification is in line with Regulation 72 (1) and therefore does not change the overall nature of the contract.
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:
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:
Following contract award, the nominated partner of the key developer for Extra Care provision unexpectedly withdrew from the scheme, which neither the key developer nor the local authority could have foreseen. Since then, the key developer alongside the authority have made every effort to source a viable provider to deliver the Extra Care within the required timescales but without success including the removal of the 'age inclusive 'aspect of the Extra Care Facility as per Modification Notice 2023/S OOO-037760. The local authority has therefore come to the conclusion that there is no interest in an extra care facility in this area and this element should therefore be removed, in line with conditions set within Regulation 72 (1) c. It is the view of the local authority that the change does not alter the overall nature of the contract. Furthermore, any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. It is therefore proposed to remove the requirement for an extra care scheme from the overall project and it is the intention that the alternative housing provision in its place will be determined by the local authority through identified need and demand in the area.
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: £2,254,251
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £2,254,251
