In accordance with the permitted contractual change mechanism, the University has undertaken a contract modifications with Eventmap Limited; these take account of changes in requirements and additional work to be delivered under the existing contract. The 'total contract value after the modifications value excluding VAT' in this notice has been updated to include these. These modifications were necessary as a result of additional requirements and internal requirements changes. The overall nature and duration of the contract as described under 'II.2) Description', remains unchanged.",

Any change in contractor would also cause significant disruption, duplication of internal and external costs and also add significant inconvenience and complexity in support arrangements."
