Procurement Information
With respect to Regulation 72 in theory more than one such change can be made during the life of the contract; however, the successive changes must not be made to circumvent the regulations. CPD notes this is the 2nd modification to the original contract value. The first modification on 17 July 2021 increased the value by PS10,500,000, to allow for the increased funding from DfE, which covered additional interventions, such as more advertising, both for leisure tourism and business tourism and the increased role of TNI's Strategic and Creative lead in supporting the industry. This 2nd modification is to increase the estimated value by a further PS10,500,000 increasing the contract value to an estimated PS41.5m. This is a result of Tourism NI receiving an additional PS7 million budget in the 2022/23 financial year, which has resulted in further unforeseen increased expenditure under the contract. TNIs partner organisations (councils and DfE) have also utilised the contract more than originally anticipated, adding to further unexpected increased expenditure under the contract.
