Procurement Information
This contract is not an award without prior notice. This contract was awarded via an Open Procedure completed in 2021. Modification is to increase awarded value by PS374,122. This proposed value modification complies with Regulation 72 (1) (b) as stated below: 72.-- (1) Contracts and framework agreements may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with this Part in any of the following cases: (b)for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor-- (i)cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, or (ii)would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The increase of an additional PS374,122.00 is 36% of the original contract award value. Any change of contractor at this stage would cause significant inconvenience to the ongoing service delivery.

"rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The increase of an additional PS374,122.00 is estimated to be around 36% of the original contract award value and is within the stated tolerance of 50%.
