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:

To avoid disruption in the process of capturing and curating key WGI final data at a critical point in the IPCC’s work and to train the new contractor to a higher level in an essential element of the project. While the new contract and supplier have been set up, they were not in place in time to begin the WGI data archival. Therefore, to reduce risks if we continue to pay 1 member of staff for 24 days effort over a 4 month period, to finish the work with the archival process.

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: £278,809

Total contract value after the modifications
