The revised overall contract value will then be £40,401,666.00.
Rationale
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The introduction of the module will aid EA to comply with its legal requirements as detailed below: . - The Procurement Act 2024 (section68(2)) requires that 100% undisputed invoices are paid within 30 days. EA currently has a Prompt Payment target to pay invoices within 30 days, and achievement of this is dependent on having an efficient way of raising orders. Punchout will support ordering accuracy, leading to less credit notes and payment delays due to difficulties in invoice matching.
