Legal Justification

The modification is justified under Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, as the changes are not substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8). The modification does not render the Framework[s] materially different in character, does not introduce new conditions that would have allowed for the admission of other candidates or attracted additional participants, does not change the economic balance in favour of the contractors, does not considerably extend the scope, and does not involve a change of contractor. The modification is strictly limited to the value necessary to ensure continuity of essential services while a new procurement process is completed. The Colleges have a statutory obligation to maintain these services and cannot permit a gap in provision.
