                    "rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: The services will no longer be outsourced to the market on a like-for-like basis, as DWP is developing a new in-house digital service, which will include a successor to the existing service (the \"Solution\"), to be in place on the expiry of this contract. This extension has become necessary to allow sufficient time to develop the Solution without requiring a gap-in-service, which would deprive the public of an important employment resource. To transfer the services to a new supplier during the extension period would be technically and economically impractical and require a lengthy transition period to mitigate risk. Re-procuring the services for the extension period would cause significant inconvenience to DWP by redirecting resources from developing the Solution to transferring the services to a new supplier and would substantially duplicate costs by requiring two concurrent contracts during transition."
