VI.3) Additional information
This notice is not a new award. The reason for the publication of this notice is as follows:
The value of this contract was initially estimated (before commencing the procurement) as a below threshold contract. The contract was procured competitively through the RISQS qualification system using a competitive process akin to the restricted procedure and a contract summary was published on Contracts Finder. This summary indicated that the actual value of the contract, as awarded, was in fact above threshold. https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/ab5a6662-7be3-4e74-966d-f429261ff3d1?origin=SearchResults&p=1
Due to a need that has arisen to modify the existing contract, this Contract Award Notice is now being published so as to facilitate the subsequent publication of a Contract Modification Notice..
