A contract modification cannot be completed due to being over 50% of the initial contract value, and therefore an STA was the approach chosen, this VEAT notice is to advise the market of our actions. There is extreme urgency for this data and therefore a full tender opportunity could not be fitted in with the timescales provided. As mentioned, the market was tested and there were only 2 providers who could provide.
