Published justification

To secure continuity, Task Orders issued on/after 1 July 2021 as per VEAT (2022/S 000-010148) 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:

Copper cabling comprising HV/LV cables: standard power cables 600/1000V, armoured and armoured: fire resistant, sizes exceeding 500mm² one core, 185mm² two core, 120mm² three core and 95mm² four core (Rate A only), Copper cabling comprising HV/LV cables: standard power cables 1900/3300V, armoured, sizes exceeding 150mm² one core and 120mm² two core (Rate A only), Surface trunking: steel; standard; one / two compartment; size 50 x 50 / 75 x 75 / 100 x 50 / 100 x 100; including lids and extra over items, i.e. accessories (Rate A only), 600 / 1000 V: armoured insulated cable to BS 7846: fire resistant to BS 6387 category CWZ, BS EN 50200 PH60, BS 8434-1 30 minutes, BS EN 60332-1-2, BS EN 60332-3-24: low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire to BS EN 61034-2,BS EN 60754-1 and 2; four core; size 10mm2 / 16mm2 / 25mm2 (Rate A only), Insulation; aluminium foil; joints sealed with tape and banded around pipe and fittings; all sizes / thickness (Rate A only), Flexible conduit; metallic; steel; size 20mm (Rate A only), Cable tray; perforated galvanised steel; plain flange edge; light / medium / heavy duty; width 50mm / 100mm / 150mm including ventilated cover and extra over items, i.e. accessories (Rate A only), Cable tray; wire basket; zinc plated steel; not exceeding 30mm deep / 30 to 60mm deep / 60 to 110mm deep; width 50mm / 100mm / 150mm; including extra over items, i.e. accessories (Rate A only), 450 / 750 V: wiring cable: insulated and sheathed flame retardant to BS EN 60332-1-2: low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire to BS EN 61034-2 and BS EN 60754-1 and 2; single core to BS 7211: flame retardant to BS EN 60332-1-2; two / three / four core screened: flame retardant to BS EN 60332-1-2 and BS EN 60332-3-4: size 1.5mm2 or greater (Rate A only), 600 / 1000 V: armoured insulated cable to BS 7846: fire resistant to BS 6387 category CWZ, BS EN 50200 PH60, BS 8434-1 30 minutes, BS EN 60332-1-2, BS EN 60332-3-24: low emission of smoke and corrosive gases when affected by fire to BS EN 61034-2,BS EN 60754-1 and 2; 3 / 4 core; 1.5mm2 or greater (Rate A only), 600 / 1000 V: mains power cable: thermosetting insulated: steel wire armoured; three / four core; 6.0mm2 or greater (Rate A only) and Radiators: panel: steel; single and double convector; all sizes (Rate A only)

Publisher note: It has become necessary for EANI to further increase the value of this contract as additional expenditure has been incurred due to an unforeseen additional budget release by which the consequent additional funding facilitated the performance of additional works and the unforeseen demand particularly in respect of response works and for works to accommodate children with Special Education Needs. These factors, combined with the continued effect of inflation which were not anticipated at the time of the original Contract Notice or subsequent VEAT Notices, has precipitated a more rapid consumption of the value of the contract stated in the previous VEAT Notice. The total value of the extension is 4,000,000.00 GBP which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. This uplift is applied in addition to the 4,000,000 GBP uplift applied and detailed in the previous VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-004316 published on 8 February 2024. . The uplift to the contract value also being sought as a precautionary measure to ensure continued service delivery of the SEN placement programme and in particular the potential of further ongoing response maintenance works as may be required before the contract expiry. . Regulation 72(1)(c) permits this increase in value of the Contract, due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. In addition the overall nature of the contract is not altered and Modification value is GBP 4 000 000 which does not exceed 50 % of the original contract value. This contingency includes sums to permit work in other Lots (as per the contract and Regulation 72 (1)(a)). . 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. . EANI envisages new contract award by no later than 31/08/25 and the contract extension shall permit the contracting authority to terminate the contract before this date upon the provision of three months’ notice.
