These delays have led to the need to extend the 14-month term of the contract for a further period of 6 months, so that there is enough output data to enable meaningful evaluation of the extent to which the trial has been successful. \nA change of contractor cannot be made due to the technical, non-interchangeability of the data range and matching approach that would be offered by a new supplier when compared with the methodology of the incumbent supplier, which would necessitate the start of an entirely new trial and, as such, would lead to substantial duplication. Furthermore, such an approach would result in the contract spend to date becoming wasted costs.\nIf the contract were to be re-tendered, this would also result in significant inconvenience given the time and resources that would be required by the Department in running a new procurement process, completing any relevant security and governance requirements, onboarding any new supplier and then re-running the pilot from the beginning. This would also substantially duplicate the cost of the contract originally procured.\nThe estimated increase in the value of the contract is £90,000 excluding VAT over the initial contract value of £274,720 excluding VAT, and therefore the increase to the contract value is less than 50% of the contract as estimated on award.",
