Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: For technical reasons a change in supplier is not possible at this stage. The provider has been contracted to support and assist the ETS/EdIS Programme to complete a procurement exercise for a Strategic Partner and has built up critical knowledge and understanding which will be required to proceed with the new procurement exercise now required following the unforeseen termination of the previously awarded Strategic Partner contract. To contract with a different supplier at this stage would significantly impact timelines for delivery of the new procurement and duplication of costs for the contracting authority. The termination of the new Strategic Partner contract and subsequent requirement for a new procurement exercise could not have been foreseen, the overall nature of the contract is not altered and there is no increase in value.
