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):
The contract has been in place for 8 years of the current 10 year term (current expiry March 2025). Tideway requires an extension of the contract with options up to a further 3 years with subsequent provision until 2028 to cover remaining requirements, effective data transition and close-out activities.
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 CDE is a highly bespoke solution which has been developed specifically for the requirements of a complex and multi-stakeholder infrastructure project over the initial term of the contract. Tideway requires the solution for a further 3 year period to ensure this aspect of the project is effectively delivered. A change of solution is not deemed practical nor commercially viable at this time given the development investment in the current solution and the stage of the project.
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: £1,900,000
Total contract value after the modifications
