The contract can be extended until 31 March 2026, and the contracting authority intends to exercise this option. The requirements of the contracting authority in this area are, as a result of potential changes in our approach to digital jury bundles, developing rapidly. As a result, it is unlikely that a comprehensive procurement can be launched in time to introduce a replacement supplier by the extended expiry date of 31 March 2026. Instead, it is intended that procurement of a replacement supplier will be launched early in 2026, with a new supplier in place by April 2027. An extension of 12 months beyond the extended expiry date will therefore be entered into. The contracting authority considers that this extension does not meet any of the conditions set out in Regulation 72(8) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and, in particular, does not believe that it is a \"considerable\" extension for the purposes of Regulation 72(8)(d). Therefore, it does not constitute a \"substantial modification\" for the purposes of Regulation 72(8), and is a modification permitted without a new procurement exercise.",
                    "rationale": "Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The modification is being introduced in order that the procurement of a replacement supplier can be completed before the contract expires."
