Delays have meant EA has not been able to commence this contract. This modification period will allow all banking services to be transferred to the new contract without any break in service which would be ruinous for the EA in its ability to deliver service. Regulation 72(1)(B) applies: (i) for economic or technical reasons. EA's finance systems are reliant on the banking provider's systems and a change of contractor now would have interoperability issues for the EA. (ii) Would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority. It would cause substantial duplication of costs for the EA to move to another banking provider while the Collaborative Tender concludes. (iii) Provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The extension is estimated PS645,000 max, it does not exceed 50% of the original contract (PS1,485,000)."
