Indicators

• Contract modified due to unforeseen circumstances.

Legal Justification

Reference to Part 2 section 14 of the Provider Selection Regime the modification must be made urgently due to unforeseeable & unattributable information that the relevant authority could not foresee at the time of the original procurement. Delaying the award or modification to follow the standard process would likely pose a risk to patient or public safety. During the due diligence period of this framework procurement we have been notified by bidders that medical malpractice insurance on a 'per claim' basis is not standard in the UK insurance market, therefore awarded suppliers cannot obtain this. To ensure that the contract remains compliant and deliverable, NHS SBS has amended the insurance requirement to align with the available market cover.
