Official UK procurement notice
Services and Support for ScotWind Leasing Application Review (Further Amendment)
Authority: Crown Estate Scotland (Central government)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionIn our previous notifications we advised that the “Number of lease applications that will be received is unknown. A nominal figure to ascertain an indicative contract value has been used, however this will likely change.”
For the purpose of transparency this voluntary ex ante transparency note is published to advise of the intention to amend the contract to reflect the final financial position where the number of lease applications to be evaluated is known and all costs are now fixed.
The final value of the core contract is now 870,240 GBP which was determined following a review of the elements required to properly score the applications, increased training provision for evaluators, the processes and work required to undertake the development of the process, the time required to score the applications and the time required to review the final number of applications which have been received.
This does not therefore amount to a material change.

- Published justification
This voluntary ex ante transparency note is to amend the contract to reflect the final financial position following close of the lease application process. This does not amount to a material change as (i) the modification does not change the character of the contract (ii) it does not introduce new conditions which were not part of the original process (iii) it does not change the balance of in favour of the contractor in a way which was not envisaged by the original documents and (iv) it does not extend the scope considerably on the basis that the scope had originally envisaged that these services would be provided by the stated supplier.
