What is being bought
The Education Authority is placing this transparency notice to alert economic operators of its plans to modify a contract in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulation 2015 for an additional 1 year until 31/03/2025. This modification increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract (2012/S 053-085884). The contract was extended by 2 years until 31/03/2019 in accordance with the original contract (06/03/2012) and a CCN (31/03/2017). The original contract was modified for 3 years per VEAT (6/3/2019) and was further modified for an additional 2 years per VEAT (11/3/2022). This modification will facilitate the continuation of the existing managed service arrangements, functionality changes to effectively meet schools’ requirements and permit transition to a new contract.

Procedure rationaleThe modification will facilitate the continuation of the existing managed service arrangements, functionality changes to effectively meet schools’ requirements and permit transition to a new contract. The anticipated modification increase equates to GBP 33 000 000. The overall new modified contract value is GBP 546 000 000. No aspect of the modification will alter the overall nature of the current contract as the scope of services will remain unaltered and any expenditure will not be permitted to exceed 50% of the value of the original contract agreement, this will be carefully monitored to ensure compliance. Regulation 72(1)(b) permits an amendment to an existing contract: for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor - (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; or (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.
