The original expiry date of the contract (including the three contractual options to extend the term) was 30 April 2026. The modification consists of a 12-month time-only extension to the Lot 3 Mental Health Recovery Services Supported Accommodation contract with Riverside Group Limited, extending the contract to 30 April 2027. There are no changes to scope, service model, KPIs (other than strengthened reporting), staffing, buildings, or pricing, with 2025/26 rates held for the extension period. The extension value is PS720,402 ex VAT, representing 32% of the original contract value and remaining within the 50% limit under Regulation 72(1)(b) PCR 2015. All previously permitted contractual extensions have already been exercised, and no earlier modifications have been made.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: WCC takes the view that the above-mentioned twelve-month extension is a permissible modification pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The modification was rendered necessary because the Council could not complete a compliant, safe and robust re-procurement of the Mental Health Pathway before the existing contract expiry of 30 April 2026. The redesign of the pathway requires extensive co-production with ASC, CNWL, the ICB, residents and partners, as well as JSNA findings and service-wide performance improvement work, all of which were still in progress. These inter-dependencies, coupled with the technical complexity of Lot 3 (24/7 accommodation, forensic clients, specialist clinical pathways) and unexpected commissioning resource constraints across 2024-2026, created circumstances that could not have been foreseen when earlier extension options were exercised. As a result, a 12-month time-only modification is essential to maintain lawful and uninterrupted delivery of statutory S117 and Care Act services while completing the full competitive procurement."
