                    "rationale": "Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Since Dec 20 there has been an increase on spend against this FA. Partly attributed to end of year spend but more significantly the increase is the result of additional allocation by DE of Education Restart Wellbeing Funding in response to the impact of Covid-19 on children's well-being. This funding was initiated in Nov 20 and it is anticipated that there will be more of this funding provided as we move into financial year 21/22 with the ongoing unforeseen impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mental health of children and this also will include related counselling of children through play therapy funding. In addition consideration has to be given to the lack of staffing resource within the Education Resources Category Team, with recruitment of posts within the team still to be completed. Whilst the renewal of the Arts & Crafts Framework Agreement tender has commenced it is unlikely that it will be awarded prior to the expiry date of the current Framework Agreement i.e. 31/12/21."
