The Contract is due to expire in June 2021.\nThe Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) requires a further extension of its original contract for an\nadditional 4 years. This extension is seen as a modification under the\nprovisions outlined in regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.\nRegulation 72 provides that contracts may be modified without a new procurement procedure in any of a number of cases, including:\n“(1) (b) for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the\noriginal procurement, where a change of contractor —\n(i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing\nequipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, and\n(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority,\n(iii) provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract;\nIn this case, DAERA will seek to rely on the modification provisions of 72(1)(b) as a transfer to a new contractor would be impossible due\nto IPR reasons.
