VII.1.4) Description of the procurement

The current Framework was due to expire in May 2023. The process of creating a replacement usually takes one year, this report outlines how the unprecedented effect of COVID alongside the current economic climate and the nature of how capital projects are funded, has impacted the delivery of the NWCP programme of works in the region, including those within Denbighshire County Council, and the options available to continue to deliver projects using it.

Approval gained to extend the current NWCP Framework for up to one year, i.e. May 2024. This is to allow Public Sector bodies in North Wales, including Denbighshire County Council, to be clear as to how they will procure their construction projects going forward, in particular, those projects that were originally intended to use the Framework and/or were part of the initial programme of works.

VII.1.5) Duration of the contract, framework agreement, dynamic purchasing system or concession

Start: 01/06/2019

End: 31/05/2024

VII.2) Information about modifications

VII.2.1) Description of the modifications

The current Framework was due to expire in May 2023. The process of creating a replacement usually takes one year, this report outlines how the unprecedented effect of COVID alongside the current economic climate and the nature of how capital projects are funded, has impacted the delivery of the NWCP programme of works in the region, including those within Denbighshire County Council, and the options available to continue to deliver projects using it.

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:

Following a period of unprecedented changes in the world and in particular in the UK due to Brexit, COVID and more recently the Ukraine War, the way the construction industry has to operate has significantly changed. To understand the extent and impact of these challenges we hosted a series of meetings with clients and contractors, the NWCP

engagement, gave us a clearer view of the issues facing the construction industry and how contractors are responding to these challenges.

The overall issues were listed in a full report, followed by recommendations that we believe enable both clients and contractors to travel through this transition in the best possible way and continue to operate collaboratively.

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: 500 000 000.00 Currency: GBP

Total contract value after the modifications

Value excluding VAT: 500 000 000.00 Currency: GBP
