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 Published total value of the contract in the Award Notice was incorrect and was stated as £334,896.

This did not reflect the value in the Contract Notice, which covered the full Term of the Contract being advertised, which was estimated to be a total value of £1,300,000.

This modification is correcting the error in the Award Notice and is being treated as a Corrigendum the Award Notice

seven.2.2) Reasons for modification

Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee.

Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:

Unfortunately the initial estimated total value of the contract was published incorrectly, it should have reflected the number stated in the Contract notice. As this is a 3 year contract with option to extend a further 1+1.

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: £334,896
