Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):

Correcting call-off expiry date only

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 contract was awarded to four suppliers – RSM, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Teneo and Deloitte.

The call-off expiry date was not dated correctly. This variation is to rectify that. It will show that with the initial 12 month contract term being 25 January 2023 – 25 January 2024; if all three 12 month extensions were applied the call off expiry date would be 25 January 2027.
