two.2.4) Description of the procurement at the time of conclusion of the contract:
NGN has engaged with a specialist parts identification supplier to determine requirements for, availability of and in some cases the suitability of current items to replace those that are now obsolete for the servicing and refurbishment of some of its existing electrical instrumentation and control equipment. That assessment which has been carried out in conjunction with the NGN team is now complete and as such NGN intends to pace a contract for their provision. At the start of this exercise it was not envisaged that the contract value would be above the procurement threshold for goods and services however as that is the case NGN are issuing this notice to confirm its intentions to the market. NGN is also in the process of conducting an above threshold procurement process which is due to conclude this year that will provide a compliant and competitive supply base for such activities going forwards. Pre-qualification questionnaires have been issued for this requirement on Achilles UVDB, the event is closed, and submissions are being assessed to enable the resultant tender process to be undertaken.

seven.2.1) Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Additional requirement for specialised and specific Active High-Low Volumetric controls cabinet and Monitor Control cabinet as designed by the supplying organisation.
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:
Part Hunter are working with NGN's design contractor on the detailed design of this equipment and as such have full knowledge of what parts are required, the rationale for their choice and an in depth understanding of the required functionality and operability, hence their selection. As a business NGN does not have its own specification for control cabinets that we
could go to market with, only a design provided by our design contractor and Part Hunter Ltd. If NGN used this design to procure from elsewhere all the liability for that design would then reside with NGN as opposed the the supplying organisation thereby increasing risk as well as the timescales for supply and installation. Time is critical in this instance.
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: £733,940
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: £1,495,940
