• Variation 1: change added a new agent permission level between SAM admin and LA admin.

• Variation 4: change to support the partition of Cumbria County Council into two separate unitary authorities.
• Variation 5: development and ongoing maintenance of a mobile app that integrates with the ITSO AMS-HOPS Service currently procured.

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):

• Variation 5: contracting with another service provider would cause significant duplication of costs.

Preparing and procuring a new contract for the mobile app that integrates with ITSO Part 11 would result in significant delay and duplication of costs in the delivery of the transport services.
