VII.2)Information about modifications
VII.2.1)Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):

Decision taken to extend framework agreement by 3 months to the 12 March 2021 given the high priority operational needs of NHS to procure these particular products and services at short

Notice during the current Covid-19 pandemic.

VII.2.2)Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee (Art. 43(1)(c) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(c) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(c) of Directive 2014/25/EU)
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:

The justification for the extension is that the necessary NHS expertise is not currently available to support the tender evaluation as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
