The amendment requires the technical specialist services to cover both THV's. The original tender allowed for the timescale to be adjusted to fully deliver THV no.1 using competitively tested rates. These rates have been adjusted in line with originally tendered agreement and are aligned to the original contract pricing structure. This structure will be to deliver THV no. 2",

This dictated a project review and extensive market engagement which resulted in a new procurement exercise for the replacement of two vessels instead of a single vessel. The two vessel procurement could not have been predicted at the time of procuring the original contract for technical support services."
