This is on the basis that DVA require Capita IT services to continue to provide increased levels of technical expertise and knowledge which no other could provide due to the continuing impact of the pandemic to testing services and the level of additional out of hours support which continue to be required to manage the backlog. The Authority will be relying on Regulation 72(1) (b) Additional works, services or supplies \"have become necessary\" and were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier would not be practicable (for economic, technical or interoperability reasons) and would involve substantial inconvenience/duplication of costs. This modification is for a total of PS345,394.11 leading to a revised contract value of PS2,127,907.40."
