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):
A modification to the value of the contract for Lot 8 - Homeowners Property Owner has been made to allow for an additional premium of £203,272. The additional premium in relation to Lot 8 – Homeowners Property Owners policy for 2024-25 has been applied from 09/05/2024 as a result of total sum insured increase.
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 Housing Executive reviewed the sums insured values of the 9 different flat types and recommended an increase of the sums insured. As a result of the review of the sum insured the Contractor had to do a mid-term adjustment to ensure the cover for these flats is in place and the Housing Executive is not in breach of their lease agreement. The additional premium for sums insured increase is linked to the current insurance policy and it is not possible to procure this additional cover as a separate service provision. Without the additional premium the current contract does not provide full insurance cover for the Housing Executive’s leased flats and will not be fit for purpose. Therefore, the change of contractor is not feasible at this point as it would create a break in insurance policy.
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: £1,250,000
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £1,453,272
