"description": "This modification consists of two elements which are to be varied: Variation 1 - Local Stop Smoking and Support Grant (LSSSASG) Following the provision of funding from Office of Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) in regard to Local Stop Smoking and Support Services which is part of the government's initiative to create a smoke free generation. The grant is expected to cover a five year period from 2024-2029, though funding is only confirmed for the first year of the grant (2024-2025). The additional funding within the current commissioned Specialist Stop Smoking Services for Sunderland will build on more of the same within the current service specification and will involve increasing capacity and demand for local stop smoking services, and to increase the number of smokers engaging with effective interventions to quit smoking. The part of the funding will be used for the recruit additional staff in relation to the Specialist Stop Smoking Service for Sunderland which will enhance the delivery of the service to assist in meeting the targets set within the grant. This variation equates to PS362,198.25 for years 1 and 2: Maximum Costs (Year 1 - 9 Months) will be PS156,699.25 Maximum Costs (Year 2 - 5) will be PS205,599.00 per annum (subject to confirmation of receipt of the grant in year 2 - 5). The modification does not render the contract materially different in character. This variation is covered in PSR Clause 13.1 (a) as it is clearly and unambiguously provided for in the contract or framework agreement documents. Variation 2 - Direct Supply of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) - To vary the contract to include the provision of NRT directly to Service Users for one week of their Behavioural Support Programme. This will enable Service Users to access NRT at their first appointment and will eliminate any delay in service provision and the need for Service Users to go to a pharmacy. ABL Health Limited will also demonstrate the use of the product(s) to the Service Users. This will reduce some barriers and additional costs to accessing the NRT product, particularly for those Service Users who are less mobile and/or have additional transport costs to pharmacy. It is envisaged that ABL Health Limited will purchase the NRT products directly, and the maximum increase to the contract over a five year period will be PS195,000. The Council will reimburse these expenses which are based on activity (years 2027/2028 and 2028/2029 are subject to the contract term being extended: The direct supply of NRT will be varied in line with 13 (1) (d) the modification is attributable to a decision of the relevant authority of the criteria in paragraph (2) are met. This contract has now been formally modified. Decision Maker is the Executive Director Health, Housing & Communities. There are no declared conflicts of interest.",
"rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee. Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances: Receipt of a grant from the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) in regard to Local Stop Smoking and Support Services which is part of the government's initiative to create a smoke free generation. The grant is expected to cover a five year period from 2024-2029, though funding is only confirmed for the first year of the grant (2024-2025). The additional funding within the current commissioned Specialist Stop Smoking Services for Sunderland will build on more of the same within the current service specification and will involve increasing capacity and demand for local stop smoking services, and to increase the number of smokers engaging with effective interventions to quit smoking. The inclusion of the provision of NRT directly to Service Users for one week of their Behavioural Support Programme to enable Service Users to access NRT at their first appointment which will prevent any delay in service provision and the need for Service Users to go to a pharmacy. Since the award of the contract there have been a number of decisions which have varied the contract by 22.76%."
