This procedure will increase the contract value from £43,082,802 to £45,482,802 a total of £2,400,000.00 and provide a 6 months extension from 01 October 2022 till 31 March 2023 in line with the provisions made within Regulation 72, 1 (b) for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor that have become necessary and were not included in the initial procurement, where a change of contractor—
(i) cannot be made for economic or technical reasons such as requirements of interchangeability or interoperability with existing equipment, services or installations procured under the initial procurement, or
