Other additional information

The need for modification of CON-0003 (MDE Electrical Installations Ltd) has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting entity could not foresee and the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract. As this contract was procured under the European Union (Award of Contracts by Utility Undertakings) Regulations 2016 (S.I. No.286 of 2016) article 97 (1) (c) of these regulations apply. ESB is satisfied that the modifications to the contract fulfils all of the conditions described in article 97 (1) (c) as (i) ESB could not have foreseen the outbreak and impact to the works and supply chain of the Covid-19 pandemic and restrictions arising; (ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract as the extension to the term of the framework is being put in place to facilitate the completion of the tendered scope; and (iii) the proposed modification is not considered substantial as it does not render the framework materially different in character from the one initially concluded

Main reason for change: Need for modifications because of circumstances which a diligent buyer could not predict.

Text

The Contracting Entity intends to extend this Framework Agreement for a further two years to facilitate the completion of the installation of the planned 2.25 million meters awarded under the original works procurement. The requirement for this extension has arisen from a slower rate of meter deployment caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which is a circumstance that ESB as the contracting entity could not foresee. The decision to extend the framework term does not impact the increase framework spend as envisaged at framework award
