Legal Justification

A change of contractor is not possible for economic and technical reasons, on the basis that the contractor has already commenced work on both builds. It would not be feasible to tender the sourcing and fitting of certain vehicle parts separately. Running a new tender for the vehicles would cause significant duplication of cost and work already completed to build the vehicles. Further, if the build of the vehicles were to be reprocured now, the cost would have increased by approximately 28%, such has been the inflationary impact on the industry.
