"rationale": "Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: The number of applications to the SIM process has exceeded applications and the resource required to evaluate the applications and provide project information to the SIM Group has increased. The level of the applications could not have been reasonably foreseen at the point of the competition being commenced, On the basis that the works involve the evaluation of a number of different applications, it would not be possible to split the services as it would lead to difficulties in relation to ensuring consistencies between two separate teams and ultimately would lead to increased and duplication of costs."
