Decision details

Approval to extend the YORbuild2 framework by six months through the modification of contracts during their term under Regulation 72 (1) (c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015

Reference: D54399

Decision Maker: Director of City Development

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To gain approval to extend the YORbuild2 framework by six months through the modification of contracts during their term under Regulation 72 (1) (c) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.  The YORbuild2 frameworks are currently in their extended periods and are due to expire in February 2022.  However, the procurement of replacement frameworks has been delayed by disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and potential suppliers are now experiencing significant emerging and unexpected Covid-19 related pressures. 

Decision:

The Director of City Development has approved:

a)  That six-month extensions are applied to all four YORbuild2 frameworks in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (c).  The estimated annual expenditure is £45mn for the minor and £100mn for the medium framework lots.

b)  The recommendation has already been approved by the YORhub Board and further internal approvals are sought from each of the four YORhub authorities in accordance with their own specific requirements.

Reason Key: Financial Impact>£500K;
