The Department will rely on Regulation 72(1)(b), where additional services by the original contractor have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, but where a change of contractor (i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing services procured under the initial procurement, and (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority; and (iii) any increase in price must not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. Reliance on regulation 72(1)(b) requires the Authority to publish a \"modification notice\" on FTS (UK e-tendering services) describing the modification made and the exception relied on. The modification to the contract for these additional services is required to ensure that DWP can make significant further investment in the condition of its critical assets and address a backlog maintenance liability and address urgent fire safety issues in relation to the condition of fire alarm systems, fire door and compartmentation integrity which have become apparent through survey activity conducted in 2022. The modification falls below the 50% limit imposed by Regulation 72(1)(b).",
