rationale:
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Due to the recent decision made by Government to delay the implementation of the
Procurement Act 23, Crown Commercial Service (CCS) believes that the first condition set out
in Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the
Framework Agreement. In order to enable CCS to ensure its portfolio is ready for the new
implementation date of 24/02/2025, and to safeguard the significant work already
completed in the development of the replacement agreement under the new regulations, CCS
proposes to extend the Framework Agreement for a period of nine (12) months from its
scheduled expiry date. The extended Framework Agreement will expire on 07/03/2026.

In accordance with Regulation 72 paragraph 1 (e ) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015,

procurementMethod: limited

procurementMethodDetails: Award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition

procurementMethodRationale:
This framework is not an award without prior notice. The Framework Agreement was awarded as set out in Find a Tender Notice 2021/S 000-024584 published on 29/11/2021 was entered into by EANI as per the published Contract Award Notice 2022/S 000-004869 published on 21/02/2024. (Framework Agreement). The Framework Agreement was initially for a value of £570,000.
This proposed modification value will increase the overall value of the framework to £855,000 GBP and does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.
The modification is permitted by Regulation 72(1)(c) of The Public Contacts Regulations 2015. Namely, the following conditions have been fulfilled:
(i) the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen;
Initial values were based upon historical spend however due to the ad hoc nature of this framework, and the increased incidents involving EA fleet, expenditure has been larger than previous projections. Modification to the framework is necessary to ensure ongoing service provision.
The release of this additional spend for these services could not have been foreseen at time of tender and therefore not included in the original estimated Framework Agreement value. The framework is a demand led agreement, and the Authority could not have reasonable foreseen the increase on demand for these services. This service provision fluctuates significantly from month to month.
(ii) The modification does not alter the overall nature of the framework; and
(iii) Any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. The awarded value of the original Framework Agreement was £570,000 GBP. This modification of £285,000 represents 50% of the original contract value.

rationale:
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The authority published VEAT Notice 2024/S 000-039507 on 6 December 2024 which outlined the rationale regarding this modification which rendered it necessary. The modification has been made under Regulation 72(1)(c) of The Public Contacts Regulations 2015. Namely, the following conditions have been fulfilled:
(i) the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen;
Initial values were based upon historical spend however due to the ad hoc nature of this framework, and the increased incidents involving EA fleet, expenditure has been larger than previous projections. Modification to the framework is necessary to ensure ongoing service provision. The release of this additional spend for these services could not have been foreseen at time of tender and therefore not included in the original estimated Framework Agreement value. The framework is a demand led agreement, and the Authority could not have reasonably foreseen the increase on demand for these services. This service provision fluctuates significantly from month to month.
(ii) The modification does not alter the overall nature of the framework; and
(iii) Any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. The awarded value of the original Framework Agreement was £570,000 GBP. This modification of £285,000 represents 50% of the original contract value.

description:
The Framework Agreement was initially for a value of £570,000.
This modification increases the overall value of the framework to £855,000 GBP and does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.

description: Whilst this notice is published for the value of £570,000 this value includes the provision of an additional 50% materiality subject to the provisions as stated in the tender documents. Therefore the spend on this Framework over its 4 year period is estimated at. £380,000. The nature of the requirement is ad-hoc therefore there is no guarantee the values published in this notice will be reached.

description:
Leicestershire County Council has undertaken a procurement process to identify and appoint a number of service providers to the Short Breaks (Play & Leisure) and Domiciliary Care for Children with Disabilities framework awarded in March 2021, to provide a range of disabled children’s services as described below.
Lot 1: Short Breaks (Play & Leisure) provide opportunities for disabled children and young
people to spend time away from their parents and carers, with friends and peers, for positive
opportunities
Lot 2: Domiciliary Care Domiciliary care is a statutory service that the Council has a duty to
provide and it relates to the provision of care and support to children and families in their
own home (e.g. personal care, meal preparation, moving and handling etc.).
The process to refresh the framework was included in the 2021 Invitation to Tender documents. The purpose of this reopen is to allow additional service providers to join the current list of approved providers.

title: Lot 2: Domiciliary Care

description: There is an option to re-open the framework for 12 months to allow for new providers and for existing providers to review their prices.

description:
Domiciliary care is a statutory service that the Council has a duty to provide and it relates to
the provision of care and support to children and families in their own home (e.g. personal
care, meal preparation, moving and handling, etc.). The service can only be provided
following an assessment of need and if certain thresholds are met. This service is not
exclusively for disabled children and young people although they make up the vast majority
of service users. Two broad areas of domiciliary care include:

document, will be accepted onto this lot. Services will then be called off as and when
required by Leicestershire County Council following the call-off procedure described within
the service specification.

rationale: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The modification meets all the criteria set out in regulation 72(1) C) (i) The need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen - The Council could not have foreseen the issues with the Residential Overnight Short Break provision and that this service would cease to be available in Leicestershire. (ii) The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract - the modification is to increase funds available through the contract to enable increased demand to be met. The nature of the services supplied will remain the same. (iii) Any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. - the original total contract value was £2,440,000, the total value of the the modification is £812,746 which is less than 50% of the original framework value.

description:
Recent analysis of spend made against this framework identified that there has been an
increase in spend. This increase is a direct result of the loss of the residential overnight short
breaks provision in Leicestershire. This happened due to Ofsted closing the Residential
Overnight Short Break provision that was contracted to deliver these services, and, a
subsequent tender exercise to replace the provider did not receive any suitable tenders. The
loss of this service has meant that there has been additional demand against this framework agreement, to provide alternative provision, which has resulted in an increased spend. Based on current spend through the framework it is anticipated that the advertised contractual value will be exceeded and modification is required to the overall value to cover the expected increase.
Increasing the resources available through this contract will ensure the Council can continue to fulfil it's statutory duties to provide respite care to families with children who have Special Education  Needs and Disabilities.
The modification will increase the contract value by an additional £812,746. This is less than 50% of the original contract value.

title: NPS Operations, Maintenance and Modernisation Services

description:
HMRC has awarded a contract to Accenture plc to provide Business Application Support and Maintenance (BASM) services for HMRC's National Insurance and PAYE System (NPS) ("New Contract"). Prior to this Accenture was the incumbent service provider to HMRC for these services (and other business applications, which are part of other replacement contracts). This expires in June 2022 ("Prime Contract"). The equivalent services under the Prime Contract shall terminate when the New Contract takes full effect.
The services under the New Contract are: Business Application Support and Maintenance (BASM) services; and optional business application development services, system integration services; strategy, architecture and feasibility analysis services related to NPS, which HMRC can use on a call off basis. The term of the New Contract is 5 years.
NPS is part of HMRC and UK economy Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) collecting 40% of revenues into HMT with nearly 40,000 users in HMRC and DWP. It has hugely complex processing engines, which are critical to calculate tax, as well as the administration of devolved powers at a subnational level between Scotland, Wales and the UK. This is a large, multifaceted service developed over time with complicated integration and interdependencies to other services within HMRC and external parties such as DWP and NS&I.
In order to make the services suitable for competition in future and reduce vendor lock-in, the New Contract includes modernisation services which will deliver an NPS Disaggregation Programme. This programme of work will disaggregate the NPS solution into 6 components to provide more open and independently maintainable business focused services.
The New Contract value is £70,393,068. Payments are supported by service levels and service credits and are structured as a combination of fixed price support and maintenance charges, rate-card based charges for development projects and delivery milestone payments for disaggregation services (including retention clauses).

description: Application service providers

description: The contract is for business application support and maintenance services for HMRC's National Insurance and PAYE System (NPS).  The contract includes options to provide business application development and enhancement services and NPS solution modernisation services.  The intent of the modernisation service is to disaggregate the NPS solution into a number of components in preparation for going to market in future.  The contract will have a duration of 5 years.

description: Application service providers

procurementMethodRationale:
The services required by HMRC consist of the provision of Business Application Support and Maintenance (BASM) services and optional business application development and enhancement services and NPS solution modernisation services for HMRC's National Insurance and PAYE System (NPS).  NPS is classified as Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) collecting 40% of revenues into HMT.  The award of the New Contract to Accenture ensures that the support of NPS continues to be delivered safely and without interruption whilst the solution is in its current technical state.  During the Contract term, the intent is to disaggregate the NPS solution into a number of components in preparation for going to market in future.
Due to the technical risk, age and intricate interdependencies of the NPS solution, the support services could currently only be provided by Accenture, until the solution is disaggregated and modernised.  Delivering the disaggregation of the solution will require a considerable level of in-depth knowledge and experience of the solution, which only Accenture have because of their 20 years of supporting the services.
There is a significant risk of disruption to critical services, which would lead to a non-recoverable consequence for customers and revenue-stream for the UK Economy.  The resulting contract enables HMRC to deliver on its strategic priorities to protect live services and deliver contractual flexibility. In parallel, HMRC will be able to work with Accenture to prepare the disaggregated components of NPS to go to market.
This is an award of a contract via the negotiated procedure without prior publication under Regulation 32 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. HMRC's view, having taken advice, is that reliance on Regulation 32 is justified because services being procured under and for the term of the New Contract can only be provided by Accenture because competition is absent for technical reasons.
Accordingly, HMRC concluded that for technical reasons HMRC was procuring services under the New Contract, which only Accenture could provide and for which there was no reasonable alternative

Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Regs 72 1 b
"72. - (1) Contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with this Part in any of the following cases:
(b) for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor-
There has been a significant increase in the project work which was not envisaged and catered for at the time of the direct award.  This will allow the continued provision of critical NPS services, support to major transformational projects and the continuation of the disaggregation programme.
(i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, and
A change of supplier is not feasible for technical reasons, as NPS has extremely high levels of technical and functional complexity.  Accenture have managed these services for many years and have the in-depth knowledge of the HMRC NPS applications and business services and a change of supplier at this stage of the contract would put key services at serious risk.
(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority,
There would be a significant increase in costs if a new supplier provided the service which would include major delays to programmes.

description: The contract was modified by £35.2m in line with PCR 2015.  This is effective from 29th November 2024.  There has been no change to the contract scope and no change to the terms of the contract.
