The first modification notice included the provision of Security Technical Advisory (STA) Services to assist with delivery of the Critical Security Infrastructure Programme (\"CSI\"). The second modification notice included the provision of Security Technical Advisory (STA) Services to assist with delivery of the Workplace Services (\"WPS\") Programme. This modification relates to the contractual provisions governing the Security Technical Advisor service for the WTP element of the contract. In regard to this Modification Notice, there was no requirement at time of tender for the STA to provide WTP activities and has only recently come about due DWP looking at its property portfolio to determine which sites to retain and which to divest. This increase is for the purpose of providing cover for specialist Workplace Transformation Programme (WTP) activities whilst DWP run a procurement for a new STA to cover both CSI and WTP elements. The estimated award of a new contract is 31 October 2023. The modification of the contract was made by relying on Regulation 72(1)(b). This is available for additional supplies and/ or services that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor: (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority; and (iii) the increase in value does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. For the purposes of the Regulation 72(1)(b) Additional Services the modification did involve additional services. The additional services are necessary for the progress of the WTP Programme due to the increased volume of work that the present contractor are to carry out which was not expected. Furthermore, the modification operates on a more of the same basis with an increase in the volume of the same types of services and with the same pricing being applied and these are additional services because of the new requirements under the WTP Programme. These were not included in the initial procurement and are being added to the respective services to be provided by the contractor which were originally specified in the contract, and as such, are of the same broad nature to cover WTP requirements whilst a new procurement is ran. For the purposes of Regulation 72(1)(b)(i) a change of contractor could not be made for technical reasons of interoperability with the present Contractor having in depth knowledge of DWP's security systems and processes to enable DWP to meet challenging timescales and could respond immediately. Also, there are technical interoperability issues preventing the working knowledge of DWP's security systems of SAFE003 that the contractor has on the WPT security contract, will make a choice of another contractor impossible for technical reasons and for the continuation of the WPT programme.",
