Published justification

In 2020 during the FWoW Connections project it was identified that an online self-serve portal would benefit both the connections team but also our connections customers by

improving the time it takes to raise and complete a quotation

or job. It would also improve the overall customer experience because customers would have access to real time information about their application status. TPoint have built the majority

of the functionality in the portal. This notice is for some additional costs to implement Phase 1 of the portal for go live.

N.B. This a variation to the Customer Engagement Management System contract. From the last variation the total overall increase since the original contract was 39%, however NGN was unable to publish a modification notice because the original contract notice cannot be found, therefore a VEAT notice was published instead.
