Procedure rationaleContract modification without prior publication - Regulation 72(1)(e), Public Contracts Regulations 2015 The Council proposes to vary its existing leisure services contract with Sports and Leisure Management Limited (Everyone Active) to implement an agency model. This variation is made in reliance on Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The Council has assessed that this modification does not constitute a substantial change for the purposes of Regulation 72(8), for the following reasons: • The services delivered to the public remain unchanged, and the contract continues to apply to the same facilities and scope. • The change relates solely to the contractual structure - establishing the Council as principal and the contractor as its agent. • The contractor remains the same. Any subcontracting to a charitable trust within the contractor's group is within the scope of existing permissions. • The modification does not shift the economic balance in favour of the contractor. The contractor guarantees an additional financial return and assumes risk of HMRC non-acceptance. • The Council retains full legal and operational control, ensuring compliance with public law and vires principles. • The modification is strictly limited to what is necessary to implement the agency structure. There is no alteration to the evaluation criteria or outcome of the original competition. This VTN/ VEAT notice is published pursuant to Regulation 99(3) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. A 10-day standstill period will be observed before execution of the Deed of Variation.
