Procurement Information

The Framework Agreement was entered into by EANI as per the published Contract Award Notice (Framework Agreement). The Framework Agreement was initially for a term ending 31 December 2022. It was however agreed in December 2022 that the Framework Agreement be extended until 28 February 2023 (Expiry) under Regulation 72(1)(c) of The Public Contacts Regulations 2015. EANI commenced a new procurement exercise, however, the new procurement exercise has been delayed due to service requirements changing. EANI anticipates the new contract commencement will be 1 March 2023, with services extended under the current Framework Agreement until then. The extension of the existing provision until the commencement of the new framework agreement has become necessary and is permitted by Regulation 72(1)(c) of The Public Contacts Regulations 2015. Namely, the following conditions have been fulfilled: (i) The need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen. We were unable to predict the volume of changes required by the Catering Service. We were unable to predict the staffing issues that have impacted on the section. Accordingly, an extension is required in order to allow a procurement exercise to be finalised and to ensure continuity of service until the new framework agreement commences; (ii) The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. Other than the term of the Framework Agreement being extended to allow the new procurement to be concluded, the nature of the Framework Agreement is not being amended; and (iii) Any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement. The value is not being increased.
