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):
This is an uplift to the current contract due to an unexpected volume of demand on this contract. This contract will be uplifted to a maximum of 50% of the original contract value as per PCR2015 regulations.
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 current contractor is providing the resource and is currently engaged in ‘in flight’ projects.
If National Highways (NH) sought to procure a supplier for the additional services, it would cause both significant inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs for NH due to:
a) The time and cost of onboarding a new supplier
b) The delay in project timelines whilst a new procurement took place and the new supplier was onboarded
c) Switching suppliers would disrupt ongoing work and impact project continuity and quality.
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: £9,166,666.67
