seven.2) Information about modifications
seven.2.1) Description of the modifications

It has become necessary to continue to support Landweb Services beyond the expiry date of the existing Contract.

The modification is for 5 years.
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire.
Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
The IPR of the system is owned by the incumbent Contractor and there are technical reasons relating to the bespoke and complex nature of the solution which would lead to substantial duplication of costs and unacceptable technical risks which would not allow for the service to be transferred to another supplier.
seven.2.3) Increase in price
Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications, price adaptions and average inflation)
Value excluding VAT: £105,000,000
