                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: This extension and increase in contract value is seen as a modification under the provisions outlined in regulation 72 (1)(b) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 for additional works, services or supplies \"have become necessary\" and were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier would not be practicable (for economic, technical or interoperability reasons) and would involve substantial inconvenience/duplication of costs - provided the change does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. Due to relevant interdependencies and associated risks such as the 2015 Remedy (McCloud) Implementation, a Gateway review recommended that the Go Live date for the new project be delayed to allow these issues to be resolved with resulting better value for money. This delay will allow additional time for the new Civil Service Pensions (CSP) procurement to be completed and provide sufficient time for the implementation of the new solution while providing CSP with business continuity. Also, the modification up to PS1,732,094 does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. This increase of time and value will be subject to the same Terms and Conditions as per the original contract."
