    • Change This notice relates to a short‑term extension of the framework until 31 July 2026. Additional value has been added to the framework, as outlined in Section VII.2.2.3. The extension is required due to delays in obtaining ministerial approval, external factors outside the Authority's control, and delays within the evaluation process. These factors have significantly impacted the planned timelines for launching the new framework., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The modification was required to maintain continuity of access to providers pending completion of all required external approvals for the replacement framework. This extension ensures there is no interruption to commissioning routes while the future framework is finalised in compliance with the Provider Selection Regime
