Description

[continued from VII.2.2.2 Description of reason]<br/>If the Authority did not vary the contract, it would have to conclude the incomplete project. To test, evaluate and score through a procurement exercise, on-board and then mobilise a new supplier to deliver the additional services would impact key milestones of the project, causing significant inconvenience and sequential delays thereafter to the project and the wider programme. A procurement exercise would duplicate and increase costs, duplicate work already undertaken and require time for the extensive technical knowledge of the contractor to be transferred to a new supplier.<br/> The cost of the additional services is 30% of the original contract value. The modification is therefore permissible in accordance with regulation 72(1)(b)(i) and (ii) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
