Legal Justification

The proposed starting date for the Term Service Short Contract for Response, Planned Maintenance and Minor Works – Building (Lot 2) FMM-22-010 has been revised from 01 February 2025 to 01 April 2025. This is due to additional time being required for the development, integration and testing of the API, which is a critical requirement under the contract and essential for contract commencement. The development, integration and testing of the API is currently ongoing and is envisaged to be completed in advance of 01 April 2025. Until the API is successfully implemented, the Contract, and service thereunder, cannot commence. The overall nature of the contract is not altered by the change to the proposed starting date. Also, any associated modification value (if any) will not exceed 15% of the initial contract value. Whilst the change to the proposed starting date is permissible under Regulation 72(5), EANI has chosen to publish this notice in the abundance of caution and to maintain openness and transparency with the market. Furthermore, Regulation 72(1)(c) also permits this modification due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. Namely, the delay in the API implementation could not have been foreseen when the proposed starting date was originally communicated to the market. In addition, the overall nature of the contract is not altered and the modification value (if any) does not exceed 50% of the original contract value. In addition, in order to provide continued access to schools and the scale, complexity and nature of the construction works and possible duplication of costs, it is not possible to change the current provider. Regulation 72(1)(b) therefore further permits this modification as a change of provider: (i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability of services procured under the original procurement and given the need to ensure continued access to EANI schools and facilities and could result in partial/total closure of schools; and (ii) will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs.
