  • Change Notice of necessary increase to the estimated overall value of CCS’ Purchase of Standard and Specialist Vehicles Framework (RM6244) procured pursuant to Contract Notice 2022/S 000-008132 (“Framework”) from £4,000,000,000 to £5,520,000,000. The value of the Framework lots will be amended to: Lot 1: £2,750,000,000 Lot 2: £550,000,000 Lot 3: £30,000,000 Lot 4: £380,000,000 Lot 5: £175,000,000 Lot 6: £5,000,000 Lot 7: £5,000,000 Lot 8: £1,505,000,000 Lot 9: £5,000,000 Lot 10: £115,000,000 No other changes will be made to the Framework. The value increase is required due to increased demand from: Continued and increased customer use of the Framework; Change in policy on the procurement of buses; and A greater number of services being procured under certain lots than anticipated. CCS’ view is that this modification to the Framework value is permitted pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Regulation 72(1)(e) provides a modification is permitted where irrespective of value it is not substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8). Regulation 72(8) provides a modification will be considered substantial if any one or more of the following conditions is met: (a) the modification renders the framework materially different in character from the one initially concluded; (b) the modification introduces conditions which, had they been part of the initial procurement procedure, would have— (i) allowed for the admission of other candidates than those initially selected, (ii) allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted, or (iii) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure; (c) the modification changes the economic balance of the framework in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the framework; (d) the modification extends the scope of the framework considerably; (e) a new contractor replaces the original contractor in cases other than those provided for in paragraph (1)(d). CCS’ view is that the increase is not a substantial variation because the: Framework will not be materially different in character from the one originally concluded; Increase would not have allowed for a different tender to be accepted or attracted additional bidders; Increase does not change the economic balance of the Framework in favour of the supplier(s); Increase does not extend the scope of the Framework considerably; and a new contractor is not being appointed. While CCS is not required to publish this notice it does so to be transparent and will observe a voluntary standstill period of 10-days, after which the increase will take effect. As set out above, this is a non-substantial modification under Regulation 72(1)(e), but, in the event that this modification is deemed not to be a modification under the PCR, then this notice should be treated as providing the requisite notice of a contract award. — Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Due to the set up of this form we have selected “Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee”, however please note that this modification is being conducted under Regulation 72(1)(e), not Regulation 72(1)(c), of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The value increase is required due to increased demand from: Continued and increased customer use of the Framework; Change in policy on the procurement of buses; and A greater number of services being procured under certain lots than anticipated.
