Legal Justification

As the supplier holds exclusive rights to the IDHub and are currently undertaking a range of development services (ie Public appointments, PRONI invoicing, Fireworks licensing etc) which due to technical necessity must be permitted to continue to allow for transition of all services to in-house ITA EDD over the next two years. Regulation 72(1) (b) Additional works, services or supplies “have become necessary” and were not included in the initial procurement and a change of supplier would not be practicable (for economic, technical or interoperability reasons) and would involve substantial inconvenience/duplication of costs - provided the change does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract. The increased additional expenditure is within the 50% cap of the original contract. This will permit the ITA EDD to continue critical services. This modification request is for £2,240,000

Other Information

Contract estimated spend is between the range of 5 500 000 GBP — 11 000 000 GBP. Actual spend will be dependent on customer uptake and volume of work
