- Change Additional worker joined the team and the contract is now 6 months rather than 3 months Length of contract increased from 3 months to 6 months in total 20th October 2021 to 18th March 2022. Initial contract value £133,953 and now total value of the contract £245,930, Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The social work team was established and working with children. It would have been detrimental to the children to change workers half way through the contract. In addition the contract remains below the relevant threshold level for social care therefore competition is not required.
