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):
This award has been made in what the Relevant Authority considers to be urgent circumstances. The current contract has been modified to include a 12 month extension.
Original Contract Start Date: 01/04/2019
Original Contract End Date: 31/03/2026
Modification Start Date: 01/04/2026
Modification End Date: 31/03/2027
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:
This contract modification must be made urgently as there would otherwise be insufficient time to run a full, compliant PSR Competitive Process and mobilise a new service before the end of the current contract. Not carrying out the award in this instance would, therefore, be likely to pose a risk to patient or public safety.
The reason for the urgency was not foreseeable by and is not attributable to the Relevant Authority. The delay in commencing the upcoming PSR Competitive Process was due to the need to await national guidance regarding NHS 111 contracts, the publication of which was delayed considerably.
As stated earlier, this modification only serves to extend the current contract for 12 months, which will allow sufficient (but not excessive) time to complete the upcoming PSR Competitive Process and mobilisation of the new service.
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: £112,694,698
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £132,739,531
