VII.2.
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):
There is currently a large volume of transmission projects progressing through design. Given this activity and the large volume of Tx new connections projects, an increase in the contract value of the 18/251 framework is required.
The wider GNI Tx Design team was consulted to forecast expected expenditures in the next 24 months. There are currently 14 contracted new connections projects that require PRS infrastructure and it is forecasted that a further 12 CAPEX projects will require PRS infrastructure in the near future. Forecasted expenditure was informed by historical procurements of similarly sized equipment.
An increase in the contract value of the 18/251 framework is required to progress the current and forecasted volume of Tx projects
VII.2.2.
Reasons for modification
Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee (Art. 43(1)(c) of Directive 2014/23/EU, Art. 72(1)(c) of Directive 2014/24/EU, Art. 89(1)(c) of Directive 2014/25/EU)
Description of the circumstances which rendered the modification necessary and explanation of the unforeseen nature of these circumstances:
There is currently a large volume of transmission projects progressing through design. Given this activity and the large volume of Tx new connections projects, an increase in the contract value of the 18/251 framework is required.
The wider GNI Tx Design team was consulted to forecast expected expenditures in the next 24 months. There are currently 14 contracted new connections projects that require PRS infrastructure and it is forecasted that a further 12 CAPEX projects will require PRS infrastructure in the near future. Forecasted expenditure was informed by historical procurements of similarly sized equipment.
An increase in the contract value of the 18/251 framework is required to progress the current and forecasted volume of Tx projects
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: 21 000 000,00 EUR
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: 28 700 000,00 EUR
