Modification is to increase value to £11,750,000.00 and extend contract end date to 31st March 2026.\nThis modification is in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (c):\nIt meets each of the following conditions:\n(i)\tthe need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen;\n(ii)\tthe modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract;\n(iii)\tany increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract or framework agreement.\nWhen EA established this contract, it was envisaged that Apple products would be in demand but with the drastic and sustained change to a more mobile and virtual delivery methods, as well as the need for ease of accessibility to what schools deliver for teachers and pupils alike, the demand has exceeded the initial estimates. The Covid pandemic and post pandemic environment has considerably changed what devices teachers and pupils now require to function adequately in the school setting.\nThis modification does not alter the scope of the contract as the same catalogue of items will remain.",
