    "procurementMethodRationale": "This is not an award of a new contract, the purpose of this VEAT is to notify the market that we intend to modify this existing contract. This opportunity was originally awarded as a call-off contract following a further competition under Crown Commercial Services Management Consultancy Framework 3 RM6187 Lot 6 Education.\nEA now intend to modify this contract to extend for a further 2 years until 12 December 2027.\nNo aspect of the modification will alter the overall nature of the current contract as the scope of services will remain unaltered and no increase to the original awarded contract value is required.\nFor technical reasons a change in supplier is not possible at this stage. The provider has been contracted to support and assist the ETS/EdIS Programme to complete a procurement exercise for a Strategic Partner and has built up critical knowledge and understanding which will be required to proceed with the new procurement exercise now required following the unforeseen termination of the previously awarded Strategic Partner contract. To contract with a different supplier at this stage would significantly impact timelines for delivery of the new procurement and duplication of costs for the contracting authority.\nThis modification meets the requirements of Regulation 72(1)(b) which 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\n(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\n(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.\nThis modification also meets the requirements of Regulation 72(1)(c) which states:\n(c) where all of the following conditions are fulfilled:—\n(i)the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen;\n(ii)the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract;\n(iii)any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement.\nThe termination of the new Strategic Partner contract and subsequent requirement for a new procurement exercise could not have been foreseen, the overall nature of the contract is not altered and there is no increase in value.\nThe EA shall observe a period of no less than 10 days, beginning with the day after the date of publication, before modifying the contract as set out in this notice.",
