Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, Crown Commercial Service (CCS) believes that the first condition set out
in Regulation 72(1)(c) Public Contracts Regulations 2015 has been fulfilled in respect of the Framework
Agreement.
Crown Commercial Service has taken the decision to extend existing framework agreements that were due for
reprocurement for a period of twelve (12 months). This is to enable CCS resource to be diverted to procuring
urgent requirements to deal with COVID-19 consequences and to relieve pressure on the supply chain while
short staffed, to enable businesses to continue to deliver services and goods to customers. CCS intends to deliver
replacement framework agreements as quickly as possible after the initial COVID-19 impact
