The additional equipment became necessary for health & safety reasons and to meet the needs of service users of the vehicles. The additions for health and safety included colour reversing camera, reverse warning bleeper, reverse sensors, blinds and extractor. Other additions for driver and service user comfort included storage, air suspension on rear, cant rail tracking for wheelchair stowing stability in transit and cant rail cover to prevent service users accessing and hurting their fingers in the cant rail tracking alloy. Note 1: There was a change in contractor to Woodall-Nicholson Ltd (company registration number 15010430), in place of WN VTech (company registration number 04747125). The successful Tenderer WN VTech went into administration on 24 November 2023, with their business taken over by a range of companies including Woodall-Nicholson Ltd. Note 2: The updated contract value also includes an inflationary uplift for the chassis, parts and labour, which was less than 10% of the total contract value and was justified under regulation 72(1)(f).",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: A change of contractor is not possible for economic and technical reasons, on the basis that the contractor has already commenced work on both builds. It would not be feasible to tender the sourcing and fitting of certain vehicle parts separately. Running a new tender for the vehicles would cause significant duplication of cost and work already completed to build the vehicles. Further, if the build of the vehicles were to be reprocured now, the cost would have increased by approximately 28%, such has been the inflationary impact on the industry."
