The Chief Executive is also The Accountant in Bankruptcy (The Accountant) who is appointed to exercise all of the functions of The Accountant as specified under The Bankruptcy (Scotland) Act 2016 (\"the Act\") (as amended). AiB requires the services of providers to administer bankruptcy cases where The Accountant has been appointed Trustee.

The Accountant will remain the Trustee throughout.",

An estimated value of the modification for this Lot has been provided at VII.1.6, however it should be noted that due to decreased allocation volumes during 2020 this modification is not expected to increase the overall value of this lot or framework as estimated at framework award. Due to the unprecedented uncertainty in relation to insolvency activity, the estimated value of the modification has been based on historic fees and allocation volume information. As per the terms of the framework a fee increase in line with the prevailing rate of CPI as at the time of agreeing the extension will be applied to the fees for cases allocated during the extension period. Please note that the NUTS codes have been updated since Framework Award, and this is reflected in this notice.",

The Scottish Parliament has approved two emergency Coronavirus Acts to help businesses, consumers and society cope with the ramifications of the pandemic. These legislative measures impact on debt and insolvency in various ways and there is potential that these changes could be extended until 30 September 2021, subject to parliamentary approval. Other factors have impacted on insolvency volumes including increased creditor forbearance, diminished capacity in the Courts system, and reduced availability of debt advice. Bankruptcy volumes since March 2020 clearly demonstrate the extent of uncertainty, with less than half the volume of awards in April to September 2020 compared to 2019. These unprecedented circumstances and the impact on the economy, jobs and other factors make predicting future bankruptcy volumes extremely difficult."
