- Change Design package, associated electrical and mechanical installation package., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: At the time of undertaking the procurement exercise we were unable to define the connection works as we were unable to pre-empt the technical solution put forward by the market. Equally, suppliers would be unable to specify without site specific information. We then planned to arrange the connection ourselves. Due to the requirement for complete (end to end) connection of services for warranty purposes we had to use the original supplier.
