- Contract change proposed25 Sept 2026, 23:59 BSTDuring delivery of the research programme, additional work packages were identified as necessary to achieve the project's objectives and meet the customer's requirements. The requirement for these arose from the findings and outcomes generated during the course of the research and could not have been fully defined at the beginning of the contract. The additional work is related to, and connected with, the original contract scope. The incumbent supplier possesses the specialist knowledge, expertise, project understanding, and access to existing research outputs necessary to undertake the additional work efficiently. Due to the nature of the programme of works and the need to build upon work already completed under the contract, there is no other alternative supplier who can deliver this.
