seven.2) Information about modifications
seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Change the delivery end date of 31 August 2020 for the Maidstone and Thanet Districts, and alter this to 31 December 2020 in Thanet at a cost of GBP 26 564. The expectation is that this will allow for an additional 50 young people to be seen by the service in these areas during this timeframe.
Extend Maidstone by an additional six months from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 and alter the end date in Tonbridge and Malling and Dover by nine months, from 31 March 2021 to 31 December 2021 at a cost of GBP 69 110. The expectation is that this will allow for 91 additional young people to be seen across Maidstone, Tonbridge and Malling, and Dover during this time period.
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
The modification is permitted based on the Regulation 32(2)(c) of the PCRs: the National Lottery identified additional funding in order to respond to emerging emotional wellbeing needs of children and young people as a direct result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 situation is so novel that the consequences are not something that could have been predicted by the local authority. In light of the emerging emotional wellbeing needs of children and young people, there is a need to maintain supply, which it may not be possible to achieve whilst complying with the usual timescales in the PCRs. The Covid-19 pandemic is not attributable to KCC, nor could it have been foreseen.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £733,000
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £828,674
