CCS' view is that this modification to the Framework value is permitted pursuant to Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Regulation 72(1)(e) provides a modification is permitted where irrespective of value it is not substantial within the meaning of Regulation 72(8). Regulation 72(8) provides a modification will be considered substantial if any one or more of the following conditions is met: - the modification renders the framework materially different in character from the one initially concluded; - the modification introduces conditions which, had they been part of the initial procurement procedure, would have- - allowed for the admission of other candidates than those initially selected, - allowed for the acceptance of a tender other than that originally accepted, or iii) attracted additional participants in the procurement procedure; - the modification changes the economic balance of the framework in favour of the contractor in a manner which was not provided for in the framework; - the modification extends the scope of the framework considerably; - a new contractor replaces the original contractor in cases other than those provided for in paragraph (1)(d). CCS' view is that the increase is not a substantial variation because the: -framework will not be materially different in character from the one originally concluded; -increase would not have allowed for a different tender to be accepted or attracted additional bidders; -increase does not change the economic balance of the Framework in favour of the supplier(s); and -increase does not extend the scope of the Framework considerably.
