Indicators

• Contract modified due to unforeseen circumstances.

Legal Justification

The estimated value of the framework was based on historical expenditure and forecast demand at the time of procurement. Since the framework commenced, demand for insourcing and outsourcing services has increased significantly beyond those forecasts due to increased use by Health Boards to support planned care recovery and reduce Referral to Treatment (RTT) waiting times, together with the availability of additional funding. These circumstances could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time the framework was established. The modification is therefore necessary to increase the estimated value of the framework to enable its continued use.
