Legal Justification

Tourism NI procured a contract to deliver a Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) eTourism solution to support its tourism development, including consumer, travel trade and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and events) markets. As the level of support for the original contract was severely underestimated, Tourism NI require a modification of the Contract value to deliver the required additional development, required technical fixes or amends for the key consumer facing discovernorthernireland.com. The modification value required is £918,030 In addition the supplier has built this website to allow for collaborative integration with local councils therefore there are technical reasons that the current Supplier would be the only supplier that could complete this work. In accordance with 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.
