Scape Construction framework

Description

Modification Notice Original description: The works and services will comprise all types of Construction works and services, including design and other services as required to design, develop and construct the works. The specific works and services that may be procured under the framework cannot be clearly defined at this stage, however the nature and types of works that may be required may include those services identified by CPV code on or in connection with any land or property and related asset owned, rented, leased or developed by any of the public sector bodies eligible to use the Framework, or on property or related assets in which any of the public sector bodies may have an interest at the time or prospectively and may include projects in the following sectors amongst others:- education, housing, blue light, health, offices, transport, military, industrial and commercial buildings and other public sector operational buildings and establishments. Description of the modifications Due to unforeseen increase in inflation globally it has become apparent that proposed projects are more expensive than originally estimated and no longer align with Framework value bands. We therefore intend to vary the value bands increasing these using BCIS indices under the existing National Construction Framework through a Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 permitted modification. The overall Framework value will not be altered, and no other changes will be made. Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances: No extra works are needed. A change of contractor will not ensure the Framework is delivered as awarded. Projects intended to fit within certain value bands no longer fit within these due to increased inflation. Modifying will allow projects to be allocated to value bands as originally intended at award. This is a permitted modification; the inflation increase was unforeseen; the Framework's overall nature will not alter and the increase will not be 50% or more of the original Framework value.
