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 length of contract will now change from 48 months that was initially projected, to 52 months. The total value remains at £435000000.

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:

Although HTE has carried out reasonable endeavours to roll out a renewal framework; due to the delays in engagement with the potential bidders and delays rolling out a renewal framework, a brief modification of the existing framework is to be carried out by extending the existing framework by 4 months. This is to ensure that public bodies are not materially impacted with the delay and a full open procedure tender process can be carried out.

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: £435,000,000

Total contract value after the modifications

Value excluding VAT: £435,000,000
