seven.2) Information about modifications
seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Work to enhance the 1990-2019 emission estimates for greenhouse gases and air quality pollutants though delivering improved information on the effects of wetlands on the greenhouse gas emissions inventory, a sensitivity study of forest carbon modelling to improve the National Inventory Report, improved projections of air quality emissions, and a number of air quality emission estimate improvements.
Current contract value is £8,723,451.72 excl. VAT after variations 1-4. New value £8,919,896.63
seven.2.2) Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
To enable a parallel inventory to be developed to include the changes required by the Wetland Supplement and other improvements to the greenhouse gas and air quality inventories required before March 2021. In the absence of the work, it would not have been possible to provide ministers with options for inclusion before COP26 or after CCC advice is received. Only inclusion or exclusion of wetlands would be possible which would either weaken our position at COP26 and in the UNFCCC 2021 review.
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: £8,723,451.72
