"description": "There will be an increase the contract value by 25% to allow sufficient time for marketing distribution during 2025/26 and the procurement of a replacement contract that will commence April 2026. Initially valued at GBP 14m for two years starting April 2020, and GBP 14m should the 2 years extension option be utilised, the contract was extended further in time only by 2 years from May 2024 to May 2026 to compensate for Covid restrictions. An additional GBP 7m is required to cover unforeseen workload, as a result of recovery from both Covid pandemic and the cost of living crisis, and to deliver ongoing strategic long-term campaigns where work has commenced and are planned for distribution in the next financial year. Additionally costs have increased due to increased staff and freelance costs via the agency, this request will provide continuity until April 2026 when we anticipate a new contract to be live. The contract has been utilised post-COVID-19 pandemic to cover several major international marketing opportunities that were not anticipated at the time of procurement, this includes capitalising on the late qualification of the FAW for the FIFA World Cup 2022 presenting opportunities on the ground and online in the US, Qatar and Europe.

"rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: In line with Regulation 72(1) (b) (i, ii), for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing services, a change in contractor before the ongoing long-term campaigns were completed would likely cause significant inconvenience and/ or substantial duplication of costs."
