Legal Justification
Paper Price Increase Variation This variation allows for an increase in price for paper-based products which mirrors what is available at framework level to counter the effects of the war in Ukraine on paper prices. ACU Variation These charging units relate to “additional services” not included within the scope of the original contract. These services are intrinsically linked to the current services provided by the supplier. The value of this modification is less than 50% of the original contract value. Thus it falls within scope of Regulation 72(1)(b). Envelope Variation DWP requires different envelopes than those specified and the envelopes required are more expensive. Therefore the specification and charges will be adjusted to include the revised envelope type. DWP regard this modification as non-substantial under Regulation 72(1)(e). Financial Reporting Variation DWP is introducing additional obligations on the Supplier regarding financial reports it must provide to DWP.
