VII.1.4) Description of the procurement

This opportunity was to establish the 3rd iteration of the South East & Mid Wales Collaborative Construction Framework of pre-qualified and suitably experienced Contractors with expertise in construction activities in relation to schools and public buildings. The Framework Contractors and Authorities will look to develop good working practices with Stakeholders across South East & Mid Wales regions to promote good practice, improve sustainability and added value through Social Value. The previous Framework was hosted by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council and has now been transferred to the County Council of the City and County of Cardiff.

Lot descriptions for Lots 1 - 11 as set out in the Contract Notice 2018/S 164-373744 published 28/08/2018. Total estimated value 1,000,000,000.00GBP.

VII.2) Information about modifications

VII.2.1) Description of the modifications

The duration of the framework has been extended by 12 months.

VII.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:

The impact of Covid-19 has been to cause delays to projects under the framework, including funding reviews, with the result that the pipeline of work anticipated to be delivered under the framework has been considerably delayed. As part of the economic recovery from Covid-19, the contracting authorities now need to press ahead with the envisaged pipeline of work under the framework agreement but there is likely to be insufficient time to award this work within the current framework agreement's duration. The impact of Covid-19 on the contracting authority's procurement resources, including being forced to concentrate on other priorities, also means that this framework agreement cannot be re-procured prior to its expiry. Therefore the duration of the framework agreement needs to be extended by 12 months. The value of this change is estimated at 25% of the original estimated value based on the fact that the duration of the framework will be extended by 25%.

VII.2.3) Increase in price

Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications and price adaptions and, in the case of Directive 2014/23/EU, average inflation in the Member State concerned)

Value excluding VAT: 1 000 000 000.00 Currency: GBP

Total contract value after the modifications

Value excluding VAT: 1 250 000 000.00 Currency: GBP
