Procurement Information

DAERA intend to modify the current contract by increasing the value of services by PS12,000,000 in accordance with Regulation 72(1)(b) Additional works, services or supplies "have become necessary" and were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier would not be practicable (for economic, technical or interoperability reasons) and would involve substantial inconvenience/duplication of costs provided the change does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The modification is to ensure continuity of service. Any change of contractor would lead to disruption to key digital services, increased costs and risk to delivering key ministerial priorities and DAERA wish to maximise Technological advances in data analysis, broadly within scope of the contract, which were not foreseen at contract award.
