RSA is satisfied that the modification is justified under each of Article 72(1)(b) and 72(1)(e) of Directive 2014/24/EU. The justification in respect of Article 72(1)(e) is provided in Section VI of this Modification Notice.
With regard to Article 72(1)(e), RSA is satisfied that the extension of the contract for 6 months is not ‘substantial’ within the meaning of Article 72(4). In particular:
• RSA is satisfied that the additional 6 months would not have attracted additional participants because the nature of the service with declining volumes.
• The additional six months would not have impacted on the selection criteria (which were pass/fail, as this was an open process) and therefore would not have impacted who was selected to participate in the competition.
• RSA is satisfied, based on its financial analysis, that the additional sums would not have changed the outcome of the competition.
• RSA is satisfied that a 12.5% increase in the overall potential contract duration and 7% increase in value (as compared with the evaluation price of the successful tenderer as set out in the Contract Award Notice) would not considerably extend the scope of the contract within the meaning of Article 72(4). For information, the increase in value is only 3.7% when compared with the value of the successful tenderer’s price when applied to the overall potential contract duration including the two potential extensions, and only 6.6% when compared with the estimated contract value in the Contract Notice.
• RSA is satisfied that the economic balance of the contract is not being altered in favour of the contractor and that the payments made are proportionate.
