VII.2)Information about modifications
VII.2.1)Description of the modificationsNature and extent of the modifications (with indication of possible earlier changes to the contract):
The initially awarded ceiling under DIGIT-TM lot 3 of EUR 125 111 580,00 has been increased, through Negotiated procedure no. DIGIT/A3/PN/2020/008 – ‘Negotiated Procedure DIGIT-TM Lot 1 and Lot 3’, by 31 277 895,00 EUR representing a 25 % ceiling increase of the initial budget ceiling, thus resulting in 156 389 475,00 EUR (initial ceiling + ceiling increase) – see contract award notice OJS S77-195914 of 21 April 2021.
This global ceiling is further increased by EUR 3 000 000,00, thus resulting in a new global ceiling under DIGIT-TM lot 3 of EUR 159 389 475,00.
VII.2.2)Reasons for modificationNeed 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:
As the direct effect of the global coronavirus crisis and the need for the adoption of rapid technological evolutions and the subsequent new policy orientations, the overall expenditure ceiling may not be sufficient to cover the needs of the European Commission until the maximum possible end date of the framework contract.
VII.2.3)Increase in priceUpdated 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: 156 389 475.00 EUR
