VII.2) Information about modifications
VII.2.1) Description of the modifications
The modification is required to extend the duration of the existing Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Technology and Associated Services. Under the transitional provisions of the Procurement Act 2023, DPS arrangements established under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 may continue to operate until the nationally mandated cut‑off date, after which all legacy DPS must conclude. Government guidance confirms that existing DPS may continue during the transition period but must end no later than 23 February 2029, irrespective of any originally intended end date or extension options.
This extension ensures continuity of service and maintains an efficient and compliant route to market while the authority prepares for migration to the new procurement mechanism—Dynamic Markets—introduced by the Act. It does not alter the scope of the DPS, the nature of the services, or the overall structure of the procurement, and it does not affect supplier participation rights; all suppliers currently admitted may remain on the DPS subject to continued compliance with the original requirements.
VII.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire
Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
Extension of DPS
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: 200 000 000.00 Currency: GBP
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: 240 000 000.00 Currency: GBP
