— Art. 2.1: Extension of the validity of the contract top 31 October 2023;

— Art. 3.1: Increase in price from EUR 3 091 850,00 to EUR 3 588 358,70;

— Modification of the reporting and payment schedule of Article 4.1 and Annexes SC.I and SC.II of SC1.

The value of the modifications to the specific contract does not exceed 50 % of the initial SC value. The modifications were brought by circumstances that a diligent contracting authority could not foresee. In particular, the extension of the validity of the SC until 31 October 2023, and the resulting price increase, was necessary for the proper allocation of resources to the new (follow-up) specific contract, in view of the need to ensure synergies of the resources allocated to the current and upcoming tasks of the Agency, which were to be assigned to EUSPA via Contribution Agreements on IRIS2, SST and Copernicus Security (CAs). As at the time of the specific contract expiry these CAs were at a stage of finalisation, the present specific contract was extended so that the new specific contract could cover also the new CAs tasks in an optimised/synergised manner. The amendment is in line with Article 172(2) and 172(3)(b) FR (Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1046/2018 as amended).
