- Change The contract value was modified to increase the number of hours covered under the contract. Additional funding was agreed to increase the contract value by a total of £156,708.20 between the period of April 2023 - December 2024., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The contract value was modified to increase the number of hours covered under the contract in order to meet unmet additional patient need and an increase to the patient population covered by the contract, following a change in commissioning responsibility for the Glossop region, which transferred to Derby and Derbyshire ICB. These circumstances could not have reasonably been foreseen by Derby and Derbyshire ICB when the contract was initially awarded.
