VII.2.1) Description of the modifications

uplift to software versioning and support to HMS Prince of Wales to ensure the same level of functionality as exists on HMS Queen Elizabeth, including changes to allow for multiple RFID tags to be associated with a single user, development of an off-line app and remote telephone support.

VII.2.2) Reasons for modification

Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire

Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:

Additional support services have become necessary and to introduce a change of contractor at this stage cannot be made for economic or technical reasons as only Kinsetsu Ltd as the OEM has the necessary technical knowledge, expertise and proprietary design information, gained in part from installing and assisting in the trials of the existing PAL system on the HMS Queen Elizabeth Carrier and which is necessary to provide this support. In addition, there are very specific interoperability requirements between the Carriers requiring commonality of PAL systems across the fleet. To introduce a change in contractor at this stage would also cause significant inconvenience, delays and substantial duplication of cost for MoD, as it would result in the need to strip out and replace the current PAL system across the fleet. This constitutes a permitted modification under that regulation

VII.2.3) Increase in price

Updated total contract value before the modifications (taking into account possible earlier contract modifications and price adaptions and, in the case of Directive 2014/23/EU, average inflation in the Member State concerned)
