A contract modification is required given the business critical nature of the services supported and provided and the Departments uncertainty about the future of the requirement means this service is not being re-tendered and would not be attractive to alternative Suppliers. This modification is for the extension of the current contract duration by a maximum of 3 years (until 12/03/2029) and has a value of PS5,500,000.00.",
