This modification increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract (2012/S 053-085884). The contract was extended by 2 years until 31/03/2019 in accordance with the original contract (06/03/2012) and a CCN (31/03/2017).

The anticipated modification increase equates to GBP 33 000 000. The overall new modified contract value is GBP 546 000 000.

(i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement; or
(ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. |
