Information about modifications
VII.2.1.
Description of the modifications
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Nature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
Following a review of the expenditure under this contract at the end of the second year of the 4-year contractual cycle (March 2022 to February 2024), a need to increase the budget of the contract has been established.
VII.2.2.
Reasons for modification
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire (Art. 43(1)(b) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(b) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(b) of Directive 2014/25/EU)Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire (Art. 43(1)(b) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(b) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(b) of Directive 2014/25/EU)Description of the economic or technical reasons and the inconvenience or duplication of cost preventing a change of contractor:
At the end of the second year of the contract implementation it became obvious that the consumption of the services under the contract is higher than originally envisaged. Therefore, it was decided to increase the contract's original ceiling in order to ensure continuity of the service provision until its expiry in the end of February 2026. The reasons for the decision taken were that changing the contractor would not only duplicate cost of running the network (two contractors providing the same service in parallel). Negotiated procedure without a notice (as per Point 11(1)(e) of Annex I FR) was followed in order to amend the contract. Possibility of using this option was indicated during the original procedure which resulted with the contract award.
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: 162 600,00 EUR
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: 243 900,00 EUR
