- Change This modification notice has been created with the intention of correcting the total contract value, as it did not include the extension periods., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The modification is required to correct an administrative data-entry error in the published contract value. No changes have been made to the contract itself; the amendment solely updates the published contract value to reflect the total value over the full potential contract term, as originally intended.
