Negotiated procedure without prior publication of a contract notice envisaged under Point 11(1)(e) of Annex 1 FR.
The contract for the provision of temporary agency workers to Eurofound was concluded for a four-year period. However, its budget consumption exceeded Eurofound's original estimates. Therefore, it was decided to increase the contract's original ceiling in order to ensure continuity of the service provision until its expiry in the end of April 2023. The pricing of the deliverables provided under the contract was not changed. Conducting another procurement procedure to replace the existing contract (and potentially the contractor) faster than originally envisaged would create a serious inconvenience to smooth operation of the canteen and would harm a legitimate right of the current contractor to expect the contract to be run until its natural expiry.
