- Change CCS proposes to extend the Framework Agreement for a period of nine (9) months from its scheduled expiry date. The extended Framework Agreement will expire on 27/03/2026., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Due to the recent decision made by Government to delay the implementation of the Procurement Act 23, Crown Commercial Service (CCS) believes that the first condition set out in Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the Framework Agreement. In order to enable CCS to ensure its portfolio is ready for the new implementation date of 24/02/2025, and to safeguard the significant work already completed in the development of the replacement agreement under the new regulations, CCS proposes to extend the Framework Agreement for a period of nine (9) months from its scheduled expiry date. The extended Framework Agreement will expire on 27/03/2026.
