                    "description": "The Health Minister made an announcement on 24th November 2021 that additional funding for pressures on service provision within the Independent Domiciliary Care sector (\"Additional Funding\") would be available for the current financial year for the domiciliary care sector. Following this announcement, the DoH NI made a direction in respect of this Additional Funding. The Western Health and Social Care Trust (\"the Trust\") is bound by statute to comply with directions of the DoH NI and as such to make payment as directed of an increased Hourly Rate of PS18.00 to its current domiciliary care providers for the period from 1 November 2021 until 28 February 2022. The direction from the DoH NI states:- \"The overarching principles of this additional funding is to ensure that Independent Sector providers deliver significant improvements in the pay, and terms and conditions for staff across the sector. This has been emphasised to the sector representatives who have committed to ensuring that the uplift in funding will be utilised to stabilise and increase capacity across the sector. It is also the Department's expectation that Trusts will work proactively with the sector to maximise capacity within areas of greatest need in terms of step-down and discharge from hospitals, waiting lists and unmet need. The Department will also continue to engage with the sector to drive these changes.\" In compliance with this statutory obligation to comply with the DoH NI direction, the Trust therefore issued a letter dated 22 December 2021 to all current Providers to vary the Contract in respect of this direction. The Trust refers also to its responses below at VII.2.2 and VII.2.3.",
                    "rationale": "Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The Trust refers to its response at VII.2.1 above. The first condition of this ground under Regulation 72(1)(c)(i) PCR 2015 is that the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. Regulation 72(1)(c)(i) PCR 2015 is satisfied in respect of this modification as the need for modification has been brought about by external circumstances, being the referred DoH NI direction, which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen when the Trust awarded these contracts back in 2016. The DoH NI direction has been brought about by exceptional circumstances; the need identified by the DoH NI to provide the Additional Funding to the independent domiciliary care sector is as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and the exceptional and unforeseen pressures on the domiciliary care sector and this critical frontline service. The second condition of this ground under Regulation 72(1)(c)(ii) is that the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. Here the service, being a domiciliary care service, is unchanged. As such, the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract and therefore satisfies Regulation 72(1)(c)(ii). The final condition of this ground under Regulation 72(c)(iii) is met in that the increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The increase in price for lot 6 is PS181,502 and the value of the original contract for Lot 6 is PS8,000,000."
