Explanation:
This procurement is conducted pursuant to Public Contracts Regulation 2015 - regulation 32, (5)(b):
'for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance;'
Additional deliveries are now required by the original supplier due to a change of ownership with some of the delivery responsibilities, a potential increase in the number of payrolls and an extension to the delivery timeline to that currently in place with the supplier, within the existing contract. The change in responsibilities now includes additional services for Version 1 to take a more significant role with data migration and payroll testing. A potential increase in number of the payrolls being delivered is due to the academisation of schools. The additional services and support together with the extended timeline for delivery of the project, has resulted in additional costs.
These are an extension of existing supplies , as per regulation 32(5)(b), a change of supplier would result in disproportionate technical difficulties - as we would then have 2 different suppliers trying to implement and deliver the same project, which is not feasible and would duplicate costs.
Publisher note: Contract end date extended to 31st December 2022. This negotiated procedure without prior publication is for an extension of existing supplies by the original supplier (as per PCR 2015 regulation 32(5)(b)), for the changes of responsibility and extension of the timeline of the contract, to further incorporate: - Taking a more significant role with data migration - Taking a more significant role with payroll testing and the potential increase to the number of Academy payrolls.
