- Change The contract had a local price at circa 75% of tariff when the contract commenced. Since then, we have had a period of unprecedented inflation and no uplifts to the contract. The provider could not sustain the tariff in their bid and advised that they would need to terminate the contract if the Commissioner would not agree to the national tariff + MFF. The Commissioner agreed, under Regulation 14, to modify this contract due to these urgent circumstances to ensure continuity of this critical service to patients. The value of the contract was originally £15,499,510 over the full 5 year contract period, with a modified contract value of £20,168,366 (calculated as 1yr + 9 mths at the agreed tariff at procurement and 3 years + 3 months at full National tariff + MFF from 1st Jan 2024 up to and including the contract extension -31st March 2027) The modification has been actioned from 1st January 2024.The Commissioner is in the process of reviewing this contract and aims to ensure decisions on procurement options are made prior to the end of the initial 3-year period of the contract., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The contract had a local price at circa 75% of tariff when the contract commenced. Since then, we have had a period of unprecedented inflation and no uplifts to the contract. The provider could not sustain the tariff in their bid and advised that they would need to terminate the contract if the Commissioner would not agree to the national tariff + MFF.
