                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The modification is permitted under Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The additional services to be provided by the Service Provider between 1st April 2022 and 31st March 2025, which were not included in the initial procurement, have become necessary owing to receipt by the Council of the additional RSI funding and more specifically, In financial year 2021/22, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (\"MHCLG\") provided the Council with Rough Sleeping Initiative (\"RSI\") funding of PS365,529.00in accordance with section 31 of the Local Government Act 2003. In accordance with the Minister of State's determination and conditions, the RSI funding was to be used by the Council to intervene in, prevent and reduce rough sleeping in the Wakefield district. Because of the omicron variant of COVID-19, DLUHC only confirmed the outcome of the Council's application on 19th May 2022 (but DLUHC had confirmed that the Council would receive additional RSI funding equal to 75% of the funding it received for 1st July 2021 to 31st March 2022 (pro-rated) for the period 1st April 2022 to 30th June 2022, to be used by the Council to extend the arrangements that were put in place in 2021/22). In financial years 2022/23, 2023/24 and 2024/25, DLUHC will provide the Council with RSI funding of PS728,778.00. A change in contractor cannot be made for economic and technical reasons. The Council currently commissions preventing rough sleeper services/rough sleeper support services (forming part of The Assessment Pathway). The initial procurement in respect thereof concluded in 2017, before details of the RSI funding were known to the Council. The Service Provider is currently responsible for the provision of preventing rough sleeper services/rough sleeper support services in the Wakefield district, together with the enhanced offer described above using the original RSI funding, and it is fundamental that all elements of the services continue to be effectively integrated and managed together to ensure service delivery is effective. Since 1st April 2018 the Service Provider has built rapport with rough sleepers (including those rough sleepers who are harder to engage), and relationships with other agencies, and a change of contractor in respect of the additional services would not be conducive to maintaining that rapport and relationships. Even where those difficulties could be overcome (which, the Council considers not to be possible, or certainly not to the detriment of service users), this would inevitably result in significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs. In particular, the introduction of a second contractor would likely lead to duplication of services being provided and the need to monitor the activity of two contractors and the interface between the two, both providing a similar service to the same service users, would impose cost and resource demands on the Council, which the Council is not able to meet. The increase in the price of the Contract does not exceed 50% of the original value."
