Procurement Information
Due to circumstances which could not have been foreseen at the time of publication of the Contract Award Notice, Northern Regional College are now required to further increase the value of this contract. This is required as additional expenditure has been incurred due to the continued effect of ongoing inflationary pressures which were not anticipated at the time of the original Contract Award Notice. These factors have precipitated a more rapid consumption of the value of the contract and reflect the application of the Procurement Advisory Note (PAN 01/21). The uplift to the contract value also being sought as a precautionary measure to ensure the completion of the new campus at Ballymena by the specified completion date. A comprehensive value engineering exercise was carried out during and in an effort to mitigate against these unforeseen expenditures and inflation effects. As a result, there has been a reduction in the total building area by 800m2 with a material decrease in build cost, however, the facilities originally within the reduced building area have been reallocated elsewhere within the premises and the overall reduction in size constitutes less than 5% of the total building area. This reallocation ensures that no specialist part of the project has been omitted. Additionally, there have been changes to the specification of finishes throughout the building, including the floor finishes, and a change in the specification of the facing brick to adapt to these new circumstances accordingly. Regulation 72(1)(c) permits this extension due to unforeseen circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen, the overall nature of the contract is not altered and Modification value is an additional circa 9% and a reduction through value engineering of circa 6.5% neither of which in combination exceed 14.99% of the original contract value. Regulation 72(1) (b) further permits this extension as it would be economically and contractually unfeasible to switch contractor without causing significant delay and duplication of build costs. A change of provider: (i) cannot be made for economic and technical reasons as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability of services procured under the original procurement; and (ii) will cause significant inconvenience and duplication of costs.

The standstill period, which will be for a minimum of 10 calendar days, provides time for unsuccessful tenderers to challenge the award decision before the contract is entered into.. Any proceedings relating to any perceived non-compliance with the relevant law must be started within 30 days, beginning with the date when the economic operator first knew, or ought to have known that grounds for starting the proceedings had arisen. (A court may extend the time limit to 3 months, where the court considers that there is a good reason for doing so)..",
