                    "description": "The ASIS Contract was awarded on 9 June 2014. It was modified in 2018 to include options to extend and under that modification was due to expire on 28 February 2022. This notice confirms that a further extension has been made to the ASIS Contract to effect a necessary extension of 3 years so the ASIS Contract will now expire on 28 February 2025. The extension period is necessary to ensure the Department can continue to support live service for health and disability assessments, provide business continuity for the HDAS contract, ensure this digital service is able to support the Department's future requirements for health assessment services and support the DWP's proposed future strategy for the ASIS service which, in essence, is continued provision of ASIS through to a controlled migration to DWP's Health Assessment Service (HAS). In order to bridge the period between the existing ASIS contract and this migration, DWP will initially need to extend the current ASIS Contract. A 3-year extension of the service is required due to the significant technical and time restrictions of all other options. Extension of the contract will provide the following benefits: * service continuity will be maintained; * implementation of the optimum solution for delivery of ASIS services post February 2025 will continue to be taken forward in the period following execution of the extension * implementation of the necessary mandatory projects required to both ensure that the ongoing services for health and disability assessments continue to be supported and facilitate transition to another provider prior to expiry of the extension . For these reasons, as explained more fully in Section IV and Annex D, the Department considers the proposed extension to be justifiable under Regulation 72 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, namely Regulation 72(1)(b). The amendments comprising the extension will not be made before the end of a period of at least 10 days from the day after the date of publication of this notice.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The extension of the ASIS Contract was necessary to maintain the service for the health and disability assessments it supports, and accommodate the changing requirements for future delivery of assessments following Covid-19. Not extending the Contract would ultimately have resulted in a virtual closure of the gateway to income replacement benefit of c.PS15b of AME spend per annum. The previous DWP strategy, reflected in the last extension of the ASIS Contract in 2018, was transition from the ASIS Contract into a new in-house digital solution by February 2022. However, substantial changes in the direction of the Health Transformation Programme (HTP) and in the IT strategy underpinning the HTP mean that completing the transition to HAS by February 2022 was no longer achievable. The HTP has also been significantly impacted by Covid-19 and the revised strategy imposed operational constraints on the timelines and transition for the ASIS services required to support delivery."
