Legal Justification

Under Regulation 72 (c) In this instance the need for the modification was brought about by a change in the requirements of the City Deal funding process which has led to a requested change in scope and delay in the expected investment decision date which the Council did not foresee at the early stages of the bidding process. Under Regulation 72 (b) A change of contractor cannot be made due to the fact that the Paul Hogarth Company Ltd have secured the main commission for this work and it would not represent value for money to secure the services of an alternative contractor due to the potential inconvenience and substantial duplication of costs such engagement would create. The additional contract variation of £81,157 will increase the total contract to £405,977.36 and is within the 50% rule under Regulation 72.
