Options
The right to additional purchases while the contract is valid.
The awarded value estimates the possible cost the risks identified that may arise during the contract term. Committed value £107,416.80 but possible spend up to £3,721,985.74
The Council have considered at an early stage the potential need for in-life contract modifications to incorporate flexibility into the Contract where appropriate and mitigating the risk of potentially unlawful modifications.There are risks which may jeopardise the satisfactory performance of the Contract but, due to the nature of the risks, are unable to be addressed in the Contract as awarded. Where the relevant, conditions under Schedule 8 of the Act are satisfied, the modification of the Contract to remedy the identified risks would be treated as a permitted contract modification.
The potential risks are additional costs that come as a result of;
a. Additional sites that become part of the estate which at this point cannot be known are required to be onboarded during the time, which will incur additional costs
b. Updates to the fire regulations that cause servicing of the doors to become more frequent or have more requirements to meet health and safety standards if there is an update to any other regulations.
c. The market availability of parts in that they are no longer available to purchase and therefore more spend occurs due to replacing a larger number of for example doors on the basis the current ones become obsolete
d. Increases in anti-social behaviour causing vandalism to the door entry systems that will require more full replacements to the doors or repairs.
e. The system awarded on the contract becomes obsolete during the term
These risks cannot be managed as part of the procurement process but if they were to materialise dialogue/negotiation would need to take place and any changes to the contract agreed by formal change control under the contract.
