Published justification

To secure continuity, Task Orders issued on/after 1 July 2021 as per VEAT (2022/S 000-010146) are adjusted for inflation, calculated with the BCIS Measured Term Contract Updating Percentages. Inflation from mid-point of original contract to 31 March 2021 is: PSA SOR ELEC11 Rate A, Rate B/D/E, Rate C 7.6 pct, 14.1 pct and 13.9 pct respectively, applies to Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Price List; Rate B/D/E applies to Section 3; PSA SOR MECH11 Rate A, Rate B/D/ E, Rate C 20.7 pct, 12.2 pct and 13.9 pct respectively, applies to Sections 1, 2 and 3; Rate B/D/E applies to Section 3; PSA SOR BCE09 14.3 pct applies to Section 4 Item OT010.370 to 460. Inflation after 1 April 2021 is changed in BCIS MTC Updating Percentages from 31 March 2021 indices based on TO issue date/latest published index. For travel expenses for Response Task Orders issued outside of Lot received on or after 1 June 2022, an additional amount for travel has been included.

It is the EA’s intention, upon receipt of compelling evidence, to consider the review of certain prices in the price lists for specific elements of which the impact of inflation is higher than what could have reasonably and diligently anticipated. This includes:

Aluminium window systems and associated items comprising glazing, flashings and insulated panels (excluding works to existing aluminium window systems and associated items such as taking out, repairs and the like);

Aluminium curtain walling and associated items comprising glazing, flashings and insulated panels (excluding works to existing aluminium curtain walling and associated items such as taking out, repairs and the like);

Aluminium doors and associated items comprising sidelights and fanlights (excluding works to existing aluminium doors and associated items such as taking out, repairs and the like);

Coated macadam roads and pavings and associated items comprising regulating courses (excluding labours and repairs to coated macadam and associated items);

Asphalt roads and pavings and associated items comprising chippings (excluding labours and repairs to asphalt and associated items);

Proprietary coloured safety sports surfacings (wet-pour) and associated items comprising logos, patterns, graphics and the like; and

Metal fencing comprising chain link, anti-intruder chain link, steel palisade security, roll-top, rigid mesh panel, steel ball-stop and rotating barrier, and associated items comprising straining posts and single and double gates (excluding work to old fencing including taking out, repairs and the like)

Publisher note: For the avoidance of doubt, the Exceptional Items listed above are for new works only. All works to existing items including but not limited to taking out, taking up, resecuring, work in repairs and the like, are excluded from the Exceptional Items. In applying for a price uplift in respect of these Exceptional items, the Contractor will have the choice to either claim the rates in the Price List applying the appropriate indexation percentage or claim under the Defined Costs. If the price of an Exceptional Item has been previously agreed, the Contractor may continue to claim at this rate. The Contractor is not required to produce evidence if they do not wish to avail of the Defined Costs. . . Regulation 72(1)(c) permits this extension due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen and the overall nature of the contract is not altered. In particular, due to the inherent complexity of the procurement process, it is taking much longer than could have reasonably been anticipated and despite the best efforts of EANI, the process remains ongoing. . . In order to provide continued access to schools and the scale, complexity and nature of the construction works and possible duplication of costs it is not possible to change the current provider. Regulation 72(1)(b) further permits this as a change of provider: . (i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability of services procured under the original procurement and given the need to ensure continued access to EANI schools and facilities and could result in partial/total closure of schools; and . . (ii) will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs. .
