Lot Information
Lot 1
An extension of the contract for the supply of specialist cryptocurrency training, including the licenses for an online access to the bespoke Foundation and Advanced Investigating Cryptocurrencies training provision and associated support services. The exisiting contract to deliver the foundation courses was awarded in January 2022 and funded via a grant under the Home Office's Asset Recovery Incentivisation Scheme (ARIS) fund. The contract falls under Schedule 3 services of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (light touch regime). The value of the contract is PS547,413 thus under the FTS threshold. The supplier was chosen as they were able to deliver the specific courses through a self-paced distance learning model whilst possessing the specific expertise in the field required by the programme and able to deliver the courses on time in the short timescale as was required by the grant. An additional Home Office grant funding, 'top slice' funding under the ARIS fund, became available at a short notice at the end of March 2022 (on 18th March 2022), the grant having to be committed by 31st March 2022, the value being PS270,000. As a result, there was insufficient time to run a compliant procurement process. The extension and increase in contract value will bring the total contract value to PS817,413 thus over the procurement threshold for Schedule 3 services. A decision was thus made to extend the existing contract under urgency in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contract Regulations 2015.
Procurement Information
Justification: The need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen, thus was considered in line with Regulation 72(1)(c). The authority considered refusing the grant, however, it believes it is in the public interest to modify the contract given the nature of the services. Moreover, the supplier is the only supplier who can provide the specific training required by the programme at such a short notice.
