VII.2) Information about modifications
VII.2.1) Description of the modifications
The modification of the existing contract to 31 December 2021 is to allow the current contractual arrangements to remain in place given the unprecedented situation of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
No aspect of the modifications will alter the overall nature of the current contracts as the scope of services will remain unaltered and any expenditure during the extension period will not be permitted to exceed 50 % of the value of the original contract agreement, this will be carefully monitored to ensure compliance.
This modification is therefore in accordance with Regulation 72 (1) (c) which states that all of the following conditions must be fulfilled:
(i) the need for modification has been brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority could not have foreseen i.e. Covid-19;
(ii) the modification does not alter the overall nature of the contract;
(iii) the value of the modification does not exceed 50 % of the value of the original contract.
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)
Value excluding VAT: 480 000.00 Currency: GBP
