Legal Justification

VEAT Type of procedure - Negotiated without a prior call for competition (Additional deliveries by the original suppliers) The Council is proposing to enter into this framework agreement extension with the incumbent framework providers following a period of 10 days from the date of publication of this notice in reliance upon Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This is on the basis that the incumbent framework providers are likely to be required to deliver additional services that have become necessary and where a change of provider cannot be made for economic or technical reasons, would cause significant inconvenience or a substantial duplication of costs for the Council. The increase in contract price does not exceed 50% of the each of the original framework agreements' value. The original framework agreement value was approximately £4,5000,000 for a term of three years. The estimated value of the framework agreement extension is £1,7000,000. In addition, this framework agreement is subject to the light-touch regime and therefore during the extension term, new providers who are interested in providing HAF activities during 2025-2026 are able to apply to join in accordance with the framework agreement's operating rules.
