    • Change The Housing Executive intends to modify this contract in line with regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015, to introduce an option to extend the contract for a further period of 7-months. Given the reactive nature of this requirement, the Housing Executive further reserves the right to extend the term again by an additional 5 months (or part(s) thereof) subject to contract expenditure. This may result in an expiry date of midnight on 30th September 2026 (or at the latest: 28th February 2027). This represents an increase of up to £4,419,892.68 (approximately 50% of the value of the original contract). This requirement is responsive in nature meaning there is no guarantee of any level of spend on the contract. This is intended to give time for the major review to be progressed whilst the new response maintenance procurement strategy is developed and procured utilising the new features offered by the Procurement Act 2023; specifically an Open Framework., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: NIHE recently completed a 5-year programme focused on the delivery of the statutory response maintenance works and a series of market engagement activities. Supplier feedback indicated the need for changes to mitigate the issue of receiving high rates and low levels of engagement. We are therefore commencing a major review of the response maintenance requirement and procuring an Open Framework. A significant investment of time and resources, for all parties, is required when procuring response maintenance contracts. It is not in the interest of the public purse to procure another round of short-term response maintenance contracts. Doing so would not improve the risk profile of the current contracts and could draw focus away from the major review and procurement of the Open Framework. The modification could enable us to undertake the major review and commence procurement of the Open Framework.
