    Postural Stability Instructor community-based provision to be added to the Community Falls Prevention contract from 1st May 2017.    
   
   VII.2.2) Reasons for modification:
         Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee (Art. 43(1)(c) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(c) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(c) of Directive 2014/25/EU)
   
   Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
    A procurement for the provision of a Postural Stability Instructor community-based provision was unsuccessful in 2014-15. This was unforeseen and prompted the Council Public Health team to run this service in the first instance. The PSI market in Southend remains the same; to avoid a further unsuccessful procurement and capitalise on any overlap of service this community-based PSI provision can be provided alongside the acute community falls provision under the one contract.    
   
   VII.2.3) Increase in price
