                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: A large amount of resource has been invested by Partners in implementing WAN and associated technology over the course of the WMPSN1 contract. The purpose of the WMPSN2 contract was to secure the extension of existing supplies and installations from the incumbent supplier, for a reduced number of Partners. A change of supplier at this stage would result in incompatibility and disproportionate technical difficulties for Solihull and the WMPSN Partners. A significant number of circuits have been laid in the ground by VMB over the course of WMPSN and are in good working order. Changing supplier could involve current circuits being replaced by new circuits which would cause disproportionate technical difficulties for Partners in a short-term contract. With the advent of Local Full Fibre Network and 5G, both of which opens options for Partners to procure solutions for future connectivity requirements. Therefore, Partners will only require a short-term extension of no longer than 18 months to complete exercises and move away from WMPSN2, pursuant to the contract term allowed under Directive 2014/24/EU, Article 72, 1(b) The proposed modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract as the only element of the contract to be changed is the duration. The service specification, terms and conditions of contract, service level agreement and annual charge rates have not been modified. The increase in duration would not cause the overall price to exceed 50% of the value of the original contract"
