The incumbent CIPSP has developed intimate knowledge of the logic within the flow computers, chromatograph and PLC's. The Flow computers and chromatograph are being changed as part of this project, and for the new equipment to interface to the existing PLC's, the PLC's will need substantial modifications also. To introduce a third party to replace and work on equipment that is expressly within the responsibility of the CIPSP, would create interface management risks. The incumbent CIPSP is therefore considered the most efficient and lowest risk party to deliver and warrant the design and interface modifications. It should also be noted that, as mentioned above, a significant part of the additional value of the variation will be competitively tendered, allowing potential relevant providers to bid in for this element of the work. It is envisaged that an extension of the CIPSP contract until the completion of the project is required . In the run up to expiry a new CIPSP contract competitive tender process will be carried out. This will be advertised on Find a Tender, allowing any interested parties to participate.",
