This modification is to meet continued demand by NHSScotland Health Boards, while the procurement of the new framework is underway. The extension ensures continuation of supply under Regulations 72(1)(b) -significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs; and 72(1)(c) - unforeseeable circumstances.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The publication of the Programme for Government in September 2021 indicated a significant increase in capital expenditure of 10bn GBP over 10 years versus the 2.4 GBP commitment for 5 years in the NHSScotland Capital Programme. This necessitated a review of the proposed replacement NHSScotland Consultant frameworks to ensure that the new Cost Advisor framework provided a fit for purpose arrangements for the NHSScotland capital programme. The additional demands on NHSScotland Boards during the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in NHSScotland Boards having insufficient capacity to engage on this. This modification is necessary in line with Regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. NHS National Services Scotland deemed that putting in place a short duration framework until such time a strategy was in place for a fit for purpose framework constitutes significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs in line with Regulation 72(1)(b)."

The extension will be brought to an end when the re-procured Framework Agreements become live which may be prior to the expiry of the extension period."
