## Summary

The CPD - Construction Division has modified the existing Framework Agreements for Property Maintenance services across six NI Regional Colleges, including Belfast, Northern, North West, South Eastern, Southern, and South West Colleges. This modification ensures the continuation of essential maintenance services until July 2025 as new procurement processes are being arranged. Classified under the CPV category 45453100 - Refurbishment work, this framework includes Planned Preventative Maintenance, Response Maintenance, and Minor Works. This limited procurement method extends the current framework's value from £28.2 million to £34.1 million to cover statutory obligations over the next 12 months without the addition of new participants or substantial changes to existing terms. The public notice for transparency was published on 19th June 2025.

This framework modification creates significant opportunities for businesses involved in construction and property maintenance, particularly those capable of handling large-scale projects with stringent compliance requirements. Companies with expertise in Planned Preventative Maintenance and offering a 24-hour Response Maintenance service will find lucrative opportunities. The increase in contract value and the need for continuity means businesses, especially SMEs with previous engagement in similar public sector projects, are well-positioned to benefit from ongoing and future task orders under the framework. With an established presence in the UK North (UKN) region, companies can secure a stable revenue stream while contributing to regional educational infrastructure upkeep.

### Procurement Information

The Colleges propose to modify the existing Framework Agreements for Property Maintenance services, originally procured in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015). The modification is required to ensure continuity of essential services following the expiry of the current Framework[s] in July 2025, pending the completion of a new procurement process. The legal basis for this modification is Regulation 72(1)(e) of the PCR 2015, which permits modifications to a contract or framework agreement where the changes are not substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8). The scope, terms, and conditions of the Framework[s] remain unchanged; the modification is strictly limited to additional call-off orders and associated value of approximately 20% of the value to ensure uninterrupted service delivery. Further the additional orders are limited in duration to the minimum period necessary to allow for the completion of a procurement process and the award of new contracts. The Colleges do not consider that the modification is substantial as the Framework[s] will not be materially different in character from the one initially concluded. The Colleges have carefully assessed the proposed modification and are satisfied that none of the criteria relevant to Regulation 72(8) are met. The modification extension does not materially alter the character of the Frameworks, does not introduce new conditions or participants, does not change the economic balance in favour of the contractors, does not considerably extend the scope, and does not involve a change of contractor. The modification is strictly limited to what is necessary to ensure continuity of critical services. The Colleges are publishing this VEAT notice to ensure transparency. The modification relates to an increase to the value only. The estimated overall increase in value is PS5,912,290, arising from each college placing call off orders against pre-determined schedules of works. Call-offs are proportionate to ensure the colleges meet their statutory obligations over the next 12 months while a new procurement exercise is progressed. As a result of this modification, the overall framework value is expected to increase from PS28,200,000 to PS34,112,290.
