VII.2) Information about modifications

VII.2.1) Description of the modifications

The modification of contracts is governed under the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 at regulation 72. This considers the extent to which a contract may be modified before it should be considered so substantially changed as to necessitate a new contract. It also requires the consideration of the effect of cumulative variations therefore, this needs to be considered in taking this decision.

The provisions of Regulation 72 (1b) (i) and (ii) provide an exception ‘where all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

Regulation 72 (1) Contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with this Part in any of the following cases:

(b) for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor:

(i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; and

(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50 % of the value of the original contract.

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:

In making this variation the above conditions of Regulation 72 (1b) (i) and (ii) are deemed to be satisfied for the following reasons: 1) The recommissioning process has revealed a number of significant changes that need to be made in shaping a new model of home care type support in the future. This significant programme of change requires additional time to go undertake the necessary consultation and analysis of current provision, including evaluation of the pilot, in order to ensure appropriate future commissioning of these types of services.

2) Due to the Council not currently being in an adequate position to procure a new service, due to the technicalities of redesigning future home care provision to the ‘wellbeing’ model which has been brought about as a result of consultation with the market/end users, and to re-procure now instead of waiting until the pilot period is over and further evaluation and consultation taking place, will result in significant inconvenience and substant
