The modification was allowed for in the initial procurement documents. During the later stages of design development, the possibility for the need to further extend the building was explored and alternative designs were tabled. Following approval, the further Phases, which at the time did not have funding approval from UEA, were added to both the Planning Drawings which were subsequently approved, and to the tender documents for the initial phase of works. It was declared during the tender that there was a possibility that if funding became available either before start on site or during the works, the successful Contractor may be asked to negotiate a variation to include for the additional phase of works within the main Contract. The modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract and is not deemed to be a substantial modification within the meaning of paragraph 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. To retender this additional element of the work would not be proportionate and would cause substantial duplication of costs (b ii).",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The economic and technical reasons that prevent a change of contractor are as follows. The tight and constrained nature of the site making it impractical to have two contractors safely working in very close proximity. Continuity of design and warranty responsibilities as well as stakeholder engagement, is critical. The safe management of a site immediately next to the blue light emergency route for the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, would be compromised by a duplication of traffic to the site. There are potential programme gains if the extension is incorporated into the main works project which prevents both abortive works and significant abortive costs. Taking into account the reasons set out above, it is considered that from an economic, technical and programming perspective, the negotiation of the extra phase of works would be the most beneficial solution."
