          "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Legislative changes that affect the collection and resale of recycled materials have been under consideration since the publication of the 2018 Resources and Waste Strategy which set out Government's ambitions for higher recycling rates, increased resource efficiency and a more circular economy in England. These ambitions require changes in how products and materials are produced and consumed, as well as how they are treated and disposed of at end-of-life.\nThe Environment Bill formed guidance on how these aims would be implemented in the recycling and waste sector by introducing 3 new statutory functions:\n1.\tConsistency of Collections (now Simpler Recycling) - this sought to provide a consistent approach to what is collected for recycling and how it is collected \n2.\tDeposit Return Scheme - a scheme to charge a refundable deposit on drinks containers\n3.\tExtended Producer Responsibility - revert the cost of collecting and recycling packaging materials back to the producers of the packaging\nThe first round of consultations was undertaken in 2019 and the details of the schemes continued to be confirmed until the outcome of the final consultation was published in May 2024.\nThe nature of the service provided  under the terms of the current contract is directly related to the way in which recyclable material is collected and presented at the MRF. The forthcoming legislative changes will impact the material composition and value of recyclables collected and delivered to the MRF and therefore will directly affect the scope and cost of the service required to be delivered by a contractor operating the MRF.\nThe potential impacts of these changes on the way the MRF operates are substantial and have prevented the Council undertaking a procurement exercise to replace the existing contract  to operate the MRF.  The contract extension will enable the Council sufficient time to understand the impact of the legislative changes and subsequently run a fit for purpose procurement exercise which takes into account of the known outcomes of the changes.",
          "description": "Modification 1: Update of name of contractor from Viridor to Syracuse in accordance with Regulation 72(d)(ii) as enacted on the 26th August 2021.\nModification 2: Extension of original contract by 5 years (01/05/25- 30/04/30) on same terms in accordance with Regulation 72 (1)(b).\nIn order to ensure transparency of decision-making Plymouth City Council is implementing to a voluntary 10 day standstill period during which time the Council will not enact the contract variation."
