Indicators

• Contract modified due to unforeseen circumstances.

Legal Justification

The need for this modification has arisen due to the operational and procurement complexities associated with developing and implementing the replacement framework. This includes undertaking appropriate market engagement, refining the procurement strategy, and ensuring the successor framework is structured to provide improved clarity and effectiveness for future call-offs. While LHCPG has acted diligently in progressing the renewal, the time required to complete a compliant procurement, has exceeded the original anticipated timeline. As a result, an extension is necessary to ensure continuity of service and to avoid any gap in provision. The modification is proportionate and strictly limited to the minimum period required to complete the procurement and implementation of the replacement framework, and does not alter the overall nature of the contract.
