- Change This modification is in connection with the Original Award Notice - Document ID No. 787981 published on 21/01/25. The contract value on the original award notice was typed incorrectly as GBP 28,098,700.00 but it should have read GBP 280,987.00., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: There is no change to the service as the contract value was typed incorrectly.
