Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

There are three main elements which combined have resulted in the need for the modification: 1. The finalisation of overall modelling methodology resulted in additional work / fees for several of the tasks. For clarity, this was where Midlands Connect has set out what we wanted as an output and / or as input into the model, and the improved methodology meant that additional work was required to deliver this - this was additional time / resources not additional tasks. 2. There were projects being proposed by Midlands Connect outside the EFP which, as the scope developed, was clear that they would strengthen the EFP modelling significantly and should be integrated into the EFP modelling. These projects would have been included in the EFP scoping at the outset if their scoping process had been more advanced and we had identified them but did not have the knowledge to do so as identified in the paragraph above. 3. The modelling testing has identified improvements and required enhancements to the model inputs. These are critical to ensure we get to the final modelling outputs at the end of the commission period. Combined, these three additional aspects to the scope have significantly strengthened the core modelling methodology which in turn will strengthen the outputs (our evidence) due at the end of the commission period. The work undertaken has been adding to and enhancing the core methodology / our initial "plan" to develop and deliver a complex and comprehensive approach - something that would be very difficult to explain, train and involve another supplier as well as having data licensing barriers.
