Rationale
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: This contract is used by 15 Local Authorities across the South West who all take turns to procure a 3 year contract. Somerset's contract is coming to an end but the next authority who was undertaking a procurement for the next 3 year contract were unable to award and therefore need additional time to re-run the process.
