Procurement Information
This contract was awarded as a Call off Contract via CCS G-Cloud 14 framework. The contract was initially awarded for the period 06.01.25 - 31.07.25. EA have used the extension option available within the call off contract to extend the contract until 31.03.26. The original Call off Contract awarded value was PS119,218.75. EA intends to modify the call off contract to increase the call ff value by PS30,000 to a total of PS149,218.75. The modification is justified as additional services are required that EA did not foresee when establishing the contract and to change provider at this time would cause delay in terms of managing a new procurement. The additional PS30k value required is 25% of the original contract value and well below the 50% threshold. Regulation 72 (1) (b) applies. The regulation states: (b)for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor- (i)cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, (ii)would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract.
