- Change The approximate lifetime value of this contract was originally listed as £267,000 (which was the total aggregated spend in relation to this contract and included both this award as well as the previous contract) and should have instead stated £90,000 (the cost for this award specifically)., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The Provider Selection Regime specifies the lifetime value of the contract and an administrative error was made when inputting the value that resulted in a total of £267,000 within the notice. This value is the combined total from the originally sourced contract in addition to the £90,000 for this specific contract. The correct value for this specific contract is £90,000.
