SNH intends to enter into a deed of variation with MCP Property Services Limited, which will extend the duration of an existing repairs and maintenance contract between SNH and MCP (the "Underlying Contract") by twelve (12) months, and which will increase the value of the Contract by approximately £12,000,000 (twelve million pounds). The Contract will now expire on 31 January 2025. The Contract is for responsive repairs and void refurbishment works across the entirety of SNH's housing stock. The properties covered by the Contract include General Needs, Shared Ownership and Sheltered Housing Sites. The Contract was originally entered into between MCP and Network Homes Limited. However, following an agreement to merge in October 2023 between Network Homes Limited and Sovereign Housing Association Limited, Network Homes Limited changed its name to Sovereign Network Homes on the 1st October 2023. This Notice and the Deed of Variation will therefore be in the name of Sovereign Network Homes

Published justification

This VTN gives notice that SNH is entering into a deed of variation (the "Contract") to extend the duration of an existing R&M contract between SNH and MCP . The estimated increase in the value of the Underlying Contract is estimated to be £12,000,000 (twelve million pounds). A procurement procedure is not necessary on the basis that the award of the Contract is permitted pursuant to regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Contract will have the effect of modifying the Underlying Contract in accordance with Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Underlying Contract was previously extended by a period of 6 months in January 2023. Following the merger between Network Homes Limited and Sovereign Housing Association Limited, the Underlying Contract will be varied in order to extend the duration of the Underlying Contract by a further period of twelve (12) months in order to facilitate the reprocurement of a repairs and maintenance contractor for SNH's stock. The estimated value of the Underlying Contract is increased by £12,000,000 (twelve million pounds). This modification is being made in accordance with regulation 72(1)(e) and 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Namely, the proposed modification is not substantial within the meaning of regulation 72(1)(8) on the basis that: 1.the modification does not alter the contract materially different in character - the proposed modification remains limited to the same type, scope and nature of works, and will be delivered in the same geographic region. There is just a short extension to the duration of the Underlying Contract in order to facilitate the reprocurement exercise. 2.the modification does not introduce conditions which would have (a) allowed for the admission of other candidates, (b) allowed for the acceptance of another tender, or (c) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure - the change in value as a result of a short extension of the opportunity is not a significant change and is unlikely to have changed the outcome of the procurement. 3.The modification does not change the economic balance in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the contract - SNH has satisfied itself that the estimated compensation for the additional works is reflective of market costs and does not amount to an over-compensation of the works to be provided. 4.As per our comments at 1. above, the modification does not extend the scope of the contract considerably. For the reasons set out above, the proposed modification does not constitute a substantial modification and is permitted by regulation 72(1)(e) and 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Additionally, we note that the proposed modification is in part to facilitate the reprocurement of a contractor following the merger between Network Homes Limited and Sovereign Housing Association Limited, in order to ensure enough time to align an approach to the re-procurement of the repairs and maintenance requirement.
