- Why no open competition
- The procurement falls outside the scope of application of the directive
- Published justification
This VEAT notice relates to a modification to the contract originally awarded in 1995 following a competitive award process. The ICO considers that the modification is permitted by Regulation 72(1)(e) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 as a modification which is not substantial. The proposed extension of the contract is based otherwise on substantively the existing terms and conditions and does not render the contract materially different in character, change the economic balance of the contract or considerably extend its scope
