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):
Since award DfI Roads Fleet Management and DfI Rivers Plant Unit have amalgamated into a single Fleet Unit. The contract is for overspill maintenance work to be carried out if a
need arises, ordered by workshops being unable to meet workload demand internally (typically during holiday periods, adverse weather events etc.) Since amalgamation, staff vacancies
continue to increase, leading to additional dependency on overspill contractors. This dependency has led to spend exceeding the initial annual estimate and will soon reach the
estimated contract limit.
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:
The inability to recruit appropriate staff was unforeseen and has led to an increased dependency on this 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: 1 900 000.00 GBP
Total contract value after the modifications
Value excluding VAT: 2 800 000.00 GBP
