VII.2) Information about modifications
VII.2.1) Description of the modifications
The framework has been extended beyond the maximum 4 year term to 31 October 2020.
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:
A replacement framework was due to commence on 1 September 2020. Procurement process for the replacement framework was delayed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. There was a requirement to conduct in depth stakeholder engagement due to the complex nature of the framework specification. This stakeholder engagement was subsequently delayed due to the impact of the pandemic. This led to their inability to tender on the basis of the originally allotted timescales. Public bodies are still required to do connections and fault finding so this framework is deemed as essential. Customers will likely seek to make purchases via the framework during the period that is sought to be extended. ESPO could not have foreseen the circumstances that have arisen due to the Covid-19 pandemic and brought about the need for this extension. The nature of the framework remains exactly the same in terms of scope of services, and terms and conditions of service (other than its term).
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: 40 000 000.00 Currency: GBP
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: 40 000 000.00 Currency: GBP
