VAT) Contract previously varied in 2020 to add Investment Pathways comparison into the drawdown tool, at a total additional cost of PS505,190.00.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: MaPS is committed to regularly reviewing and improving these tools to ensure they continue to meet the needs of the consumers that rely on them. The contract modification to extend for a twelve month period is required to allow for a fair competition in the re-procurement, including managing incumbency advantage. The existing provider holds the Intellectual property for the tools, and as such, there is no ease of interchangeability with another provider. During initial market engagement earlier in 2022, the market was engaged with regard to options. From this, it was determined that we would need to completely re-build the tools. Therefore it became apparent that the time required to procure and develop and test the new tools would be significantly longer than the time available. Allowing the contract to expire would create issues with regard to Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requirements, as the FCA conduct of business rules require providers to signpost to MaPs tools. To ensure we have continuous coverage for consumers we are therefore extending the current contract for a twelve-month period, to provide sufficient time for a fair competition in the re-procurement and to re-build the tools prior to the end of the contract extension."
