- Change The contract has been modified by way of an extension - maximum 36 month duration and correspondingly the value - an additional maximum value £70,000, Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: In 2012 we awarded a 10-year contract to Midland HR (Midland) to provide us with an HR and payroll software system. It was awarded on a 5 year plus 5 x 1 year optional extensions. The contract is due to expire in July 2022 with no further optional extensions available. We have procured and awarded a contract to replace this software (Corporate Systems Project). The implementation and onboarding process for the new software is currently underway. However, this will not be live until mid-late 2023. The services provided by this software are essential to the successful running of the Assembly. There were plans in place in good time to retender this contract and avoid the situation we are currently in. However, the fact that we had no Assembly in place for 3 years meant that the project was delayed several times as we were not able to seek the necessary approvals for spending. The global pandemic also impacted on resources within the Procurement Office and business area and other projects had to take priority to ensure the NI Assembly were able to legislate during the time of crisis. The Assembly Commission are committed to ensuring that the new replacement contract sees through a prompt implementation of the new software so this contract variation is for a limited a time as possible.
