Published justification: LMCNI has procured a contract to deliver the Support and Maintenance of the Livestock and Meant Commissions Farm Quality Assurance Scheme Customer Relationship Management Database. LMC require a modification to this contract as FQAS database requires further development to capture information to allow additional data collection. Additionally there has been an increase to costs requested by the supplier in line with inflationary costs. The estimated value of this modification is £122,889.49 taking the revised total contract cost to £423,183.13.
