    • Change DHSC is relying on Regulation 72(1)(c) in order to modify the original contract:(a) the need for the modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority cannot have foreseen:When the original contracts was entered into, DHSC purchased a sufficient volume of tests as was deemed strictly necessary to satisfy demand until an accelerated open procurement for testing kits had been completed.The demand for testing kits has exceeded expectations as a result of an unprecedented number of new cases which were not originally envisaged, and also as a result of additional requirements (e.g. testing university students, testing within the community, the mass testing of NHS personnel). As such, the demand for testing kits has been significantly higher than anticipated which could not have been foreseen when the original contract was entered into. The additional volumes of test kits procured pursuant to this modification is for a stopgap supply of test kits to cover the period between the current supply of kits being exhausted and those obtained pursuant to the contract awarded under the accelerated open procedure. (b) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract:The test kit components remain exactly the same as those covered by the original contract.(c) The value of the modification is less than 50% of the original contract value., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: DHSC awarded a contract on 6 October 2020 to Innova Medical Group Inc for the provision of lateral flow test kits to support the UK Covid-19 testing strategy (Contract Award Notice reference 2020/S 217-533961). DHSC is extending the contract relying on Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 to procure additional volumes of tests until 31 December 2020. DHSC is conducting an accelerated procurement for future requirements (Contract Notice reference 2020/S 218-536544).
