Legal Justification

The contract is a ‘cost reimbursable’ contract and this notice is identifying a change in the expected value of the contract, in circumstances where the contractor is completing work that is of the same type as what was tendered. If this work was not undertaken by the appointed contractor, HS2 would incur disproportionate duplicative procurement costs, import additional schedule/programme risk, introduce interface risks associated with potential new contract(s) and would be unable to meet its overall value for money obligations. Impacts would include: inability to transfer existing relationships with key stakeholders to a new supplier within a short period of time; knowledge transfer at this advanced stage of the hybrid Bill development may result in HS2’s inability to answer questions from petitioners and the Select Committee, causing time, cost and reputational damage; programme delays due to the incumbent preparing a bid response alongside progressing existing contract deliverables.
