Rationale
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: Unfortunately the initial estimated total value of the contract was published incorrectly, it should have reflected the number stated in the Contract notice. As this is a 3 year contract with option to extend a further 1+1.
Description
The Published total value of the contract in the Award Notice was incorrect and was stated as £334,896. This did not reflect the value in the Contract Notice, which covered the full Term of the Contract being advertised, which was estimated to be a total value of £1,300,000. This modification is correcting the error in the Award Notice and is being treated as a Corrigendum the Award Notice
