Modification 2 - March 2014- SPPA upgraded the Pension Administration system from AXISe to Altair for NHS and STSS, this also facilitated the administration of Scotland's Police and Fire pension schemes. Modification 3 - April 2014 - the contract was varied to encompass the widespread changes to Scotland's NHS, Teachers', Police and Firefighters' pension schemes brought about by UK Government led reform under the Public Service Pensions Act 2013. These changes, which altered benefit and entitlement structures for these schemes, were implementable from 1 April 2015.

As a result of a significant delay in implementing that system it is necessary to extend the pre-existing contract to ensure continuity of essential services via existing systems. The contract modification meets the terms of regulation 72(1)(c) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015: i) Following a competitive procurement process, the SPPA procured a new system. Despite the SPPA's best efforts, there has been a delay in implementing that new system which was out of the SPPA's control and could not have been foreseen; ii) the nature of the existing contract has not been altered by the modification; iii) this modification does not exceed 50% of the original contract notice (including indexation). The modification is essential to ensure uninterrupted services to the SPPA's 500,000 customers."
