This Modification will extend the EBP2 Framework until 31st March 2023. Due to the impact of Covid-19 and the support for the Convalescent Plasma (CVP) programme there has been a significant delay in the retendering the new supply and in developing the replacement International Blood Pack 1 (IBP1) Framework on time.",

B and /or 72.1.C of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This is because of the continuing focus of the contracting authorities on the Covid-19 crisis (which no diligent contracting authority could have foreseen) has significantly reduced the technical support for a retender. The length of this time has been chosen so that the replacement Framework IBP1can be completed. The length of time of this extension is because any other interim arrangements would be in place for such a short duration that it would cause significant inconvenience and/ or substantial duplication of costs; along with causing significant technical barriers such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement."
