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 ad-hoc budget, as set out in the original contract at a value of £250,000 per year, is to be increased by £230,000 (total). The inclusion of the ad-hoc budget in the original contract was for the purpose of ongoing improvements to the inventory system and to service ad hoc queries and engagements. The potential need for flexibility and future variations in budget was accounted for in the original contract documents.
In addition, due to EU Exit, the UK deliverables to the EU are no longer necessary and therefore the costs for these deliverables are needed in the contract. This has resulted in a reduction of £52,438.36 in the budget.
In light of these two modifications, the net change to the contract budget is an increase of £178,561.64.
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:
The necessity for this variation is due to ongoing scientific developments (including research methods, reporting requirements and technology improvements), which were unforeseen, that need to be incorporated into the contract.
Due to EU Exit, the UK deliverables to the EU are no longer necessary and therefore the costs for these deliverables are needed in the contract. This was a known possibility at contract commencement and both the supplier and the Authority agreed to future negotiations in potentially removing these deliverables.
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: £8,816,479.18
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £8,995,040.82
