  • Change Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract): The framework will be extended by a further six months. The three conditions in the Directive permitting this modification have been met as follows: (i) disruption caused by Covid-19 and unprecedented issues currently being experienced in the Construction sector could not have been foreseen. (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. The scope of the framework will remain the same and it will continue to operate in exactly the same way during the six month extension period. (ii) the value of the framework agreement remains the same, Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the operation of the framework and delayed its re-procurement and could not have been foreseen, nor could the unprecedented issues currently facing the construction sector. These include but are not limited to significant increases in market activity caused by pent up demand being released, stimulus spending to speed up recovery, spikes in material prices, material shortages, delayed or extended framework procurements all coming to the market at a similar time. These market pressures necessitate the need for the framework to operate longer to ensure the delivery of key public sector projects and to allow longer periods for the market to respond to the tender to secure a replacement framework.
