                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: (i) This was a capped cost reimbursement contract. Given that Covid lockdowns decimated our catering business on campus, we waived the cap. This was standard across the contract catering industry. (ii) The volume of footfall on campus has not yet recovered to pre-Covid levels. There remains uncertainty around the level of footfall due to the implementation of post-Covid hybrid teaching and working models. To be commercially viable for other catering contractors, we need a full operational year with no Covid restrictions. The 17 month extension allows us to have a 'normal' year of operations and thus financials to present to the market. (iii) The previous EPoS supplier is no longer fit for purpose; we no longer have a need for elements of this system. Baxterstorey already use MCR on a number of their sites and have in-depth knowledge of this system making it operationally an easy move. All liability around VAT would sit with Baxterstorey."
