    "description": "Total value of the procurement: PS130,000,000 This was broken down over the initial five-year term of the TPA and the PPA as follows: * Repairs and Maintenance (including refurbishment) - GBP 10 to GBP 12 million per annum. * New Build - GBP 12 to GBP 14 million per annum. * Share of surplus generated from new build opportunities. The term of the TPA commenced on 1st April 2016 and expired on 31 March 2021 with an option, at the Council's discretion, to extend for a further period or periods of up to ten years in duration. The term of the PPA also commenced on 1st April 2016 and expired on 31 March 2021 with an option, at the Council's discretion, to extend for a further period or periods of up to ten years in duration. On 30 September 2020, having exercised its option to extend both contracts, the Authority entered into deeds of variation to the TPA and the PPA to extend the terms of both contracts for a further of three years commencing on 1 April 2021 and ending on 31 March 2024. On 13 December 2023, having exercised its option to extend both contracts, the Authority entered into further deeds of variation to the TPA and the PPA to extend the terms of both contracts for a further 12 months commencing on 01 April 2024 and ending on 31 March 2025 (the \"2023 Deeds of Variation\"). The Council published a modification notice (2023/S 000-037208) on the Find a Tender Service on 18 December 2023 in relation to 2023 Deeds of Variation. The stated values included in Section VII.2.3 (Increase in Price) of that notice did not account for all increases in the contract value between 2019 and 2024. Therefore the figures in that notice (2023/S 000-037208) should have made clear that the updated total contract value before the modifications under the 2023 Deeds of Variation was PS295,200,000 and the total contract value after the modifications was PS320,000,000. As the date of publication of this modification notice, the total anticipated contract value to 31 March 2025 is estimated to be PS336,900,000 as set out in Section VII.2.3 (Increase in Price) below.",

The term of the PPA also commenced on 1st April 2016 and expired on 31 March 2021 with an option, at the Council's discretion, to extend for a further period or periods of up to ten years in duration. On 30 September 2020, having exercised its option to extend both contracts, the Authority entered into deeds of variation to the TPA and the PPA to extend the terms of both contracts for a further of three years commencing on 1 April 2021 and ending on 31 March 2024. On 13 December 2023, having exercised its option to extend both contracts, the Authority entered into further deeds of variation to the TPA and the PPA to extend the terms of both contracts for a further 12 months commencing on 01 April 2024 and ending on 31 March 2025. The Council has now further exercised its option to extend both the TPA and the PPA. The TPA and the PPA have been modified under Regulation 72(1) (b) of the Public Contract Regulation 2015 to extend the terms of both contracts for a further period of four (4) months and three (3) days commencing on 1 April 2025 and ending on 3 August 2025. The purpose of this modification is to allow the Council to instruct Mears to provide repairs and maintenance services to its social housing and other assets under the TPA and the PPA for a period of four (4) months and three (3) days. The Council is currently in the process of procuring a new long term housing repairs and maintenance works and services contract, which is due to be awarded in May 2025 following which there will be a three (3) month mobilisation period before the commencement of the housing repairs and maintenance works and services under the new contract on 4 August 2025.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The Council requires additional works and services to be carried out by Mears under the TPA and the PPA during the period of 1 April 2025 to 3 August 2025 which were not included in the original procurement. The reason for this modification is to allow the Council to instruct Mears to provide repairs and maintenance services to its social housing and other assets under the TPA and the PPA for a period of four (4) months and three (3) days whilst the Council concludes its procurement for a new long term housing repairs and maintenance works and services contract. The Council is due to award its new contract in May 2025 following which there will be a three (3) month mobilisation period before the commencement of the housing repairs and maintenance works and services under the new contract on 4 August 2025. A change in contractor cannot not be made for the following economic and technical reasons: A change in contractor cannot be made as it would not be technically possible for a new contractor to be appointed so that it can deliver the housing repairs and maintenance services and capital works schemes during the period 1 April 2025 and 3 August 2025. The Council would be required to carry out a procurement exercise to appoint any new contractor. Following that procurement exercise, due to the complexity of the housing repairs and maintenance services and the capital works schemes that are provided under the TPA and PPA, a new contractor would require a mobilisation period of at least three (3) months before it would be able to start to deliver housing repairs and maintenance services and commence delivery of capital works schemes. Any new contractor would require this mobilisation period in order to set up its operation which would include requiring access to extensive asset information and data relating to the properties covered by the TPA and the PPA and associated IT systems. A change in contractor would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority: A change in contractor would cause significant inconvenience and result in a substantial duplication of costs, time and resource for the Council if it was required to carry out another procurement to cover the provision of the works and services covered by the TPA and the PPA for a period of four (4) months and three (3) days. This is because the Council has already incurred considerable cost and expense as well as having dedicated considerable time and resource carrying out its procurement for a long term housing repairs and maintenance works and services contract. Increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The value of the works that Mears will be instructed to carry out under the TPA and the PPA during the extension period total PS14,200,000 (excluding VAT) which is less than 50% of the anticipated value over the initial five year term as set out in the advertised contract notice (PS130,000,000 excluding VAT) which was broken down as follows: * Repairs and Maintenance (including refurbishment) - GBP 160 to GBP 12 million per annum. * New Build - GBP 12 to GBP 14 million per annum. * Share of surplus generated from new build opportunities. and is less than 50% of the value of the original contract as set out in the contract award notice (PS130,000,000 excluding VAT)."
