Description

The original contract was procured in 2022 for a duration of four years. However, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond the authority's control-specifically, the unexpected passing of a Candidate-the scheduled election in Higham Ferrers was delayed and required rescheduling. This event triggered a series of operational and logistical challenges, resulting in significant and unanticipated costs that were not accounted for in the original procurement planning.

Other Information

The death of a candidate during the election created an urgent and unforeseeable disruption to a public contract (e.g., election services, ballot printing, logistics), The council invoked Regulation 32 to modify the contract without prior publication. This situation is justified as unforeseeable and it was impossible to follow standard procedures.
