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):

The current Framework was due to expire in May 2023. The process of creating a replacement usually takes one year, this report outlines how the unprecedented effect of COVID alongside the current economic climate and the nature of how capital projects are funded, has impacted the delivery of the NWCP programme of works in the region, including those within Denbighshire County Council, and the options available to continue to deliver projects using it.

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:

Following a period of unprecedented changes in the world and in particular in the UK due to Brexit, COVID and more recently the Ukraine War, the way the construction industry has to operate has significantly changed. To understand the extent and impact of these challenges we hosted a series of meetings with clients and contractors, the NWCP

engagement, gave us a clearer view of the issues facing the construction industry and how contractors are responding to these challenges.

The overall issues were listed in a full report, followed by recommendations that we believe enable both clients and contractors to travel through this transition in the best possible way and continue to operate collaboratively.

VII.2.3)Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications and price adaptions and, in the case of Directive 2014/23/EU, average inflation in the Member State concerned)
Value excluding VAT: 500 000 000.00 GBP
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: 500 000 000.00 GBP
