- Change This modification increases the original contract value by 50%. The uplift is required to accommodate additional scope and continued service delivery that was not foreseen at the time of award. The nature of the modification remains consistent with the original contract, and all other terms and conditions are unchanged., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The modification is required due to a level of demand that could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the original procurement. The contracting authority was unable to accurately forecast the pipeline of potential work, and the volume of requirements has exceeded initial estimates. These additional needs fall within the scope of the original contract but require an uplift in value to ensure continuity of service delivery. As this increased demand was not predictable during the tender process, the modification is necessary to maintain service provision without interruption and without causing disproportionate cost or operational impact.
