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 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. As a result, framework continuity is required during a period of high demand and priority to support the operational needs of the NHS in procuring these particular products and services at short notice. The Covid-19 pandemic meets the conditions outlined under 72(1) (c) of PCR 2015, and it is under those conditions that a modification to the duration of the framework is proposed to be made. In making such a modification it is understood that NHS SBS and NOE CPC would be required to send a notice to OJEU for publication outlined under 72(3) of PCR 2015.
