- Published justification
Due to circumstances which could not have been foreseen at the time of publication of the Contract Award Notice, Northern Regional College are now required to further increase the value of this contract. This is required as additional expenditure has been incurred due to the continued effect of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing inflationary pressures which were not anticipated at the time of the original Contract Award Notice. These factors have precipitated a more rapid consumption of the value of the contract and reflect the application of the Procurement Guidance Notes PGN 01/20, PGN 02/20 and the Procurement Advisory Note (PAN 01/21). The uplift to the contract value also being sought as a precautionary measure to ensure the completion of the new campus at Coleraine by the specified completion date.
Regulation 72(1)(c) permits this extension due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen, the overall nature of the contract is not altered and Modification value is an additional circa 31% and a reduction through value engineering of circa 1.5% neither of which in combination exceed 50 % of the original contract value.
Regulation 72(1) (b) further permits this extension as a change of provider:
(i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability of services procured under the original procurement; and
(ii) will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs.
