It includes design and functionality improvements to optimise the user experience of the Sustainability Support for Education hub. Furthermore, Key Performance Indicators previously agreed during contract management meetings are now formally incorporated into the contract. These additional services total PS126,650 (exclusive of VAT). Please note. This modification does not extend the duration of the contract, which was previously extended under the contract's extension clauses and in line with Regulation 72(1)(a), at a value of PS403,550 (exclusive of VAT) until 31 March 2026.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Due to the Department's obligation to reduction the carbon emissions of the Education Estate, and due to the voluntary nature of the Climate Ambassadors programme, the need to increase user engagement and site decarbonisation resources has become necessary. As TPx have designed and developed bespoke digital tools under this contract, and as there is a need to assess and improve the performance of these services, this requirement is not interchangeable with other suppliers for technical reasons. Due to the above technical barriers, a change in contractor would result in substantial duplication of costs. This is because the Department would incur considerable expense in training a new contractor to develop a comprehensive understanding of the services, which is required to assess the contract's current gaps and identify ways to improve its performance. The original contract value was PS2,378,000. All cumulative variations to date total PS530,200, amounting to 22.30% of the original contract value."
