  • Change The Authority entered into a contract with Contech International on 01/10/2019 for services in Pakistan following an Open Competition. The contract provided for extensions which were subsequently exercised. A further extension was exercised for the 12 month period to 31/03/2024 with the application of Regulation 72(1)(e). A Contact Modification (CM) has now been executed in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.

Changing contractor for a short term while the competitive tender is prepared and completed would be both costly and result in significant inconvenience to the Authority's global health operations in Pakistan potentially rendering them unable to meet the objectives of the IHR Project. provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract; With an estimated total contract value of £1,502,993 excl. VAT (£1,803,592 incl. VAT), the £750,000 excl. VAT (£900,000.00 incl. VAT) modification amounts to c. 49.9% to the original contract value., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The contract extension and longer duration has become necessary to allow continuation of services while a specialist lawyer at Government Legal Department (GLD) is engaged to advise on Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 ("TUPE") matters during the preparation of a re-procurement.
