Legal Justification

It would appear that Regulation 72(1)(b) would apply under the circumstances. The Regulation states: (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 (ii) would cause significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority, provided that any increase in price does not exceed 50% of the value of the original contract; For this particular modification, (i) EA requires continuity of service from the Contractors until a replacement contract has been procured. EA cannot swap out the technology already installed by the contractors until a new contract is in place. Plus (ii) the value of the modification is 30% of the original contract value.
