    "procurementMethodRationale": "1.\tLincolnshire County Council currently outsources the management of the County Farms Estate to Savills.   The current contract commenced in 2013 on a 5+5 year basis.  In 2018, the second phase of the contract was approved, concluding in 2023.\n2.\tIn 2020, as a result of a surrender of Crown leasehold land, it was agreed between both LCC and Savills that a reduction in management fee could take place on the basis of extending the contract by 3 years to 2026.\n3.\tFollowing the decision to undertake a new Strategy of the estate in line with the new ruling administration of the council, additional time is required to achieve scrutiny and committee approval (aligning the services offered within the contract with the aims of the new strategy).\n4.\tIt is therefore necessary to extend the current contract by 12 months in order to provide sufficient time for engagement but also for the awarding and implementation of the new contract. Contract extension to commence 1 July 2026 and conclude 30 June 2027.\n5.\tThe extension of the contract to Savills is necessary to ensure continuity of high delivery and the management of the estate are maintained and potential risks are limited.  It is not possible to provide this service in-house within Corporate Property due to the scale and variety of complex areas of work involved in the management of the estate.\n6.\tA further year extension would amount to a cost of £177,825 for Schedule 1 Core, and c£25,000 for Schedule 2 Adhoc services, giving a total of £202,825.",
