    • Change Following the start of the project, it was discovered that more extensive groundworks and landscaping works would be required in order to ensure the bespoke design could be completed., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The design for the mechanical Coronation Garden is an original creation of Diarmuid Gavin and he has full intellectual property rights. Therefore, a change of economic operator would create issues with interchangeability as he is the only economic operator with the necessary intellectual property rights.

    • Change The modification for the contract was brought about by necessary additional supplies of plants, trees, and shrubs which were required to complete the bespoke design., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The design is a creation of Diarmuid Gavin and he holds full intellectual property rights. Diarmuid Gavin was responsible for ordering the plants, trees, and shrubs for this contract due to his specialist knowledge and business relationships in the horticultural community. The plants, trees and shrubs are unique species from various suppliers across Europe. In order to ensure a cohesive and consistent appearance, the plants, trees and shrubs must be ordered from the same suppliers. Therefore, a change of economic operator isn’t possible as Diarmuid Gavin is the only designer with the necessary knowledge and business relationships to order the plants, trees and shrubs without creating a substantial duplication of costs for the Council.
