The NRTS2 Contract has a maximum term of 9 years (allowing for a 2 year extension) and is currently due to expire in March 2027. National Highways has exercised the 2 year extension and the purpose of this notice is to notify you that National Highways will be entering into a deed of variation with Telent to extend the NRTS2 Contract by an additional 12 months beyond the extension period included in the contract. The value of the extension is detailed in section VII.2.3 of this notice; this figure allows for delivery of the existing services and any optional services that may be required during the extension. National Highways is currently engaged in the procurement of the National Roadside Telecommunications Services 3 contract (the NRTS3 Contract) (please see PIN reference 2024/S 000-041155, with the Tender Notice currently expected to be published in April 2025). The extension of time under the NRTS2 Contract allows for additional time for National Highways to complete both the procurement of the NRTS3 Contract under the new Procurement Act 2023 and its required governance processes, given the significance and value of the NRTS3 Contract, whilst ensuring continuity of existing services during this period. The NRTS3 Contract is expected to be awarded in 2028 under a competitive flexible procurement and a sufficient time needs to be allowed for a suitable transition and mobilisation period with the existing supplier.",
                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The extension of time is a permitted variation pursuant to both Regulation 72(1)(b) and (e). It allows for additional services that are necessary where a change in contractor cannot be made for economic or technical reasons without causing significant inconvenience or a substantial duplication of costs. Further the services will be delivered under the existing contract and the extension is not a substantial modification to the terms of the NRTS2 Contract."
